Justice: Would we retain our current system or would crimes and punishments be dictated by Biblical Law and rendered by religious authorities? What would the criminal justice system look like? Would there be a death penalty?
They probably would be a death penalty, and maybe even something like the inquisition, to root out heretics and burn them!

Stance on climate change?
What would the stance on Global Warming be for such a nation?
I've seen some fundies who believe we can do whatever we want with the planet, because the Earth is just temporary for us, but then I've seen others who take their role as 'guardians' very seriously.
I guess it would depend on which fundamentalist.
