Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

Ask the Author; Animalia's Democracies

 

Wasty: Well North Mammalia and Zootopia are. Obviously, there are some 'restrictions' across the board regarding corporations and businesses that in our universe would probably be called 'anti-democratic' (by said businesses), but Zootopia, and North Mammalia have a sort of...'the more wealthy you are, or the more power you have, the more restrictions should be placed on you' policy, in order to keep from the powerful individuals stifling the voices of the small. Obviously, the NMU and Zootopia's laws are sort of United States coded. Freedom of speech, right to bear arms, (although restricted in cities), etcetera. This would obviously extend to Canidea and Mexicat to some degree, as they are united with North Mammalia in the same way the EU is in our universe, Hence the "North Mammalian Union". 

As for the rest on Animalia, I haven't given them nearly as much thought. Roarope is largely democratic, but thanks to the laws regarding rodents differing from country to country, among other species rights issues, Roarope still hasn't been able to unite in an EU fashion. Grussia still turned communist, rose, and fell within the same timeline. Communist Panda managed to hold together a bit longer, but it seems in the cards that the nation will ultimately break apart within the next five years or so. In terms of dictatorships and third world conditions, I see a majority of those being in central Afrikat, which suffered significantly after the collapse of the Pridelands empire. With South Afrikat standing as a beacon of modernity and democracy on its southern tip, and Egyip and the Saharalands standing as its equal on the Northern side.

Austailia is also largely democratic, with heavy Kittish influences in its rule of law and culture despite it being mostly run by native Austailians. And as for South Mammalia, the governments are sort of all over the place. Same for some of the South Ursan countries, with Bindia and South Purrea being powerhouses in the region.

Eventually, I'm going to draw up a nice map to kinda...give everyone an idea of the world of Animalia at large. I just keep forgetting to actually sit down and do it.
