Among us ocs except I can't draw among us (shhh.. Vidtor doesn't know he's an imposter)

I'm trying to figure out the differences between Whitespyland and Blackspyland and here's what I came up with thus far...

Blackspyland propaganda doesn't focus on how perfect and glamorous their spies are. BSL pushes forward the friendly neighborhood spy, the tough, heroic spy who will do whatever he can for his nation. While in WSL spies (particularly our White) are treated more or less like celebrities and are expected to behave as such.

I think the way the nations promote espionage differs, too. Like WSL promotes it via talk shows and magazines while BSL promotes it through like PSAS and WE WANT YOU Uncle Sam type stuff.

The Black Spy Fanclub sort of falls in line with BSL's way of recruitment. Like, I think Black may see it as a way to keep kids out of trouble and set a goal for the future. But it's really used sort of like ROTC or something. And Black knows it deep down because he's not that naïve.

When it comes to religion...that's a bit tricky. A lot of communist nations really don't like religion or religious freedom. I'd like to think that WSL has effectively banned all religion. You worship the government and the government only. I used to think the same for BSL but all the religious imagery Black invoked in TSTYS had me thinking otherwise. I think that BSL has churches and the like, but they don't have a lot of power. The government comes first and foremost. I don't think Black grew up religious, but he does have some basic knowledge while White has virtually none. I mean, he knows that God and Jesus are, like, things but that's about it lmao.

That's all I got so far lol. But I was thinking about my writing process and how internalized it is. I don't really let anybody in when I'm writing or crafting my worlds. So here it is! How do you differentiate Whitespyland from Blackspyland? Do they even have a difference?
