Chapter 21: Establishing Laws and Opinions

To answer a guest's question about my political affiliation I'm registered as an Independent. The Democrat leaning is a result of Republican dominance IRL. If the Dems were in charge I'd have a Republican preference for this story. And good job DRAGONDAVE45 for catching the "American President" references! Anyways I hope that you all enjoy this!

Late June, 2018

It had been a few months since the meeting of President's cabinet and Alesia the Titania inside White House. The meeting was to discuss how Humans and Mamnoo may be able to coexist with each other. Since then many things have changed.

Congress was able to pass the Mamono Citizenship and Integration Act in mid May without too much trouble. This law would be designed to attempted Humanity's new neighbors into modern society as well as change society in order to accommodate them on a basic level. Places to buy their "food", how to deal with educating them, employing them and even restructuring buildings to be able to accommodate their non-human portions.

This law would effectively giving ICE the authority to hunt down any Mamono they could find so that they couldn't cause any trouble, as well as to bring them to special facilities in order to bring them up to speed on how this new society worked. Canada, Britain, France, Japan and the Scandinavian nations all would eventually pass similar laws.

In order to get the public more on board with this new program the government would offer up small sums of money to those who knew the location of a Mamono. This program was effective in bringing in many Mamono from the shadows.

But surprising to many was the fact that quite a few of these beautiful creatures already had husbands, boyfriends and lovers. Even more surprising was that many of these paired up Mamono offered themselves up willingly. Such as the case of a Missouri farmer who came into the Jefferson City Mamono integration facility with his Holstaur "wife".

Other cases included a couple from Colorado who brought in a young Umi Osho who wished to adopt her. Ultimately the couple were allowed to keep her and she could be enrolled in a regular kindergarten considering how young she was.

However not everything was going as smoothly as everyone hoped. Plant Mamono couldn't be uprooted without hurting them and even then they refused to comply with and Human's orders. So unfortunately they would have to be forcefully removed, often killing them. Beyond this the government would post warnings around wilderness areas to be extra careful. To watch out for plant Mamono or any other Mamono who could be a threat.

Other problems arose from Mamono who would situate themselves into groups. Bee and Ant Mamono were especially dangerous to large groups of people and when their dens or hives were discovered they often had to be cleared out. In other countries such as Russia and Brazil with large tracts of unused and unpopulated land had to be careful of Orc, Goblin, Dark Elf or Amazonian tribes. It was even rumored that a group of Dark Elves had made their home in an abandoned gulag.

The oceans of the world also became much more dangerous, like the plant Mamono most aquatic Mamono weren't willing to listen to what Humans had to say. In fact the were much more aggressive than they ever were back home. Scientists attributed it to a higher Human population and ocean pollution. And in order to keep international shipping safe, many nations considered these Mamoon is pirates and authorized a shoot on sight policy for them.

Finally problems of moral and ethical nature were arising. Undead Mamono wouldn't be accepted into society as easily as others, considering that their dead and having sex with them would be considered necrophilia. Loli Mamono were also scrutinized due to their childlike appearance and having intimate relationships with them were illegal. And while there was now a push to add Mamono to the 1964 Civil Rights Act when they would eventually become citizens, the undead and Loli Mamono were currently in a grey area.

Another moral issue was the two religions that accompanied the Mamono and how they would be able to interact with the world. The Faith of the Fallen God, while definitely strange and not like any other religion, it still fell within legal lines as a religion as it had an established faith base and didn't technically break any laws.

The Sabbath on the other hand should be considered for all intents and purposes, illegal. One British politician called it "Pedophillia with extra steps." And many countries would ultimately ban it. But back in America this would come into conflict with the first amendment and it's freedom of religion. At the current moment neither religion is at all popular nor being publicly practiced as most of its worshippers were either in an integration facility or in the wild. But no doubt in the future this would be a massive debate.

But what do Humans think of Mamono. Well let's start off with young men and women. Most young men look upon Mamono as if they were a gift from god. Gallup Poll rates young men's approval of Mamono to be well over 70%. Females however look upon Mamono in a lesser light. Only 24% of young women approve of Mamono. However Feminist groups would look upon the Mamono with a divine lense. They viewed them as the superior females and after the news that they could turn Humans into Mamono came to light many feminists would attempt to seek them out to convert themselves into Mamono.

Most religious groups in America currently despised the Mamono. As they all were created by a succubus, not to mention the actual Demon Mamono types! And many of the "bible belt" politicians were apart of the anti-Mamono groups.

But for most of the world Mamono were looked upon more favorably than unfavorably. Nations suffering from a negative birth rate supported the Mamono and were much more willing to allow them into society than most other nations.

Meanwhile NATO was concerned with the Royal Makai and what it was planning with Earth. They wished to send their own scouts back to the Mamono world, however without a very powerful magical source like what Alesia used to come to Earth, they could only wait to see what the Royal Makai did next.

Little did they know what was being planned just beyond the dimensional barrier.
