Floria strongly condemns cannibalism of any kind and encourages other MTO members to also condemn cannibalism.

The People's Republic of Graecia would also condemn cannibalism of any form.
The humans are made to work in collectivity; to live in harmony with eachother. Why a good worker shall lose his life just because some fooly-minded believe that their <<gods>> would help them this way!?!?!? This is the exact opposite of what communism wants.

Natopian citizens and residents enjoy freedom of religion and the ability to practice their faith as they deem appropriate. However, one citizen's freedom to physically express their religion ends when it inflicts pain, hardship, death, or dismemberment on another unwilling person.
Although it may be possible to envision a situation where a "willing" victim consents to being eaten, or arranging for the consumption of their corpse in their will and then committing suicide; Natopian society cannot condone the customary eating of people lest it devolve into brainwashed cult members being convinced of the requirements of giving up their flesh for next Sunday's potluck or impoverished victims being convinced of favors or payments for their surviving kin in exchange for their flesh.
Natopia, therefore, condemns cannibalism for religious rites, but notes that cannibalism itself is sometimes a necessary act of survival in extreme life-or-death situations.

It's not our place to pass binding resolutions on others in regards to how they dispose of their dead. That said, killing someone for their parts is inherently wrong, and harvesting should only be done when the one being harvested agreed to before their untimely passing, and such passing should only be through natural causes.
Others have their own definition of what constitutes a willing sacrifice. We shall not dictate that definition for them.
