So IRS is more commonly known as ''ministry of finance'', ''The Exchequer'', ''treasury'' or ''treasury department''?
In the US, the IRS is generally known as just "The IRS." But I guess the Ministry of Finance must be the british equivalent.
There are still some people living outside the US! (Maybe I should complete my Green Card application?) According to my online dictionary, the british equivalent is ''Treasury''.

My neurochemistry has fucked my impulse control, now I'm diagnosed OOD = oppositional opinion disorder, one of the most deadly diseases in totalitarian states, but can be cured in the free world.

I know. That's why I said to substitute it for your state's equivalent.

But enough about that.

Is there no way that they occur? What happens if the parents die? Or are killed? What happens to those children that are orphaned?

Very rarely indeed. This is based alot on my own religion, with the core of the whole thing taken out so that I can actually make a Culture. No, I don't believe in Dragons/Blue Tigers. I believe that happy people don't get diseases. My people are very happy.

I call it a Religion, 'cos that's as close as you get to explaining it. It has no name at all.

The cult of wishful thinking. If you pretend your problems don't exist, you won't have any!

Almost. Except you don't pretend, you actually get rid of them. When it comes to physical problems, that's to do with your problems in your mind.

But anyway, please get back on the topic of filling the holes I've left in my Conpeople ;P

Hmm, I am weary of cults. But I know that the cult of wishful thinking is a real let down. I mean, they really don't deliver...

(m) What secret vice actually is practiced?
~ *************
What? If you're worried about offending someone then don't be. We're (mostly) adults here.
(p) How do the genders dress?
~ However you'd like.

(r) What professions or activities are considered masculine?
~ N/A

(s) What professions or activities are viewed as feminine?
~ N/A
I know it might violate your sacred ideal of perfect gender equality but this is neither realistic nor desirable.
(u) What is the biggest sexual taboo?
~ Ear sex.
And you were afraid to say this before? :/

Also, how does it fit?
(d) What colors are associated with power? With virtue? With death?
~ White is considered Positive, Black Negative. Other colours have special meanings.
Nondescription yay?
(e) If two men get into a fight, how is this supposed to be resolved?
~ It is not. Duels are until one gives in. You are banished to a different town, until you return to the one you began at. You are then considered a weak fighter and offered free and special training.
...I don't even know how to respond to this.
(i) How do people demonstrate grief?
~ If a person loses a Soulmate, they usually sail away from the island and never return. No one knows where they go. They simply do not answer, and do not speak.
Why? Where do they actually go?
(p) How private are bodily functions like bathing or defecating?
~ Defecating is done privately in one's home, as to avoid others SMELLING it. Bathing can be public, such as in waterfalls and warm pools (these are only found on the coast or in the mountains)
Do they have plumbing?

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT REALISM? xD

They indeed have a form of plumbing. Good question, and I'm gonna be thinking hard on how the FREEEECK to make that work. O_O
And when they die, their Soul is supposed to go to a dimension without Time/Space, where it eternally but never chatters with other souls until it does and does not find a new body. My head hurts.
