Flags banned in your nation

Postby Namor » Sat Jan 26, 2013 8:51 am

Are there any flags banned in your nation?

According to the Namorese Constitution, flags that advocate religious or ethnic hatred are banned in Namor. Also, flags that portray fascism and Nazism in a positive light is banned.

The flag of the Republic of Namor is banned from public usage, and can be only used for historical or educational purposes. It is also illegal to fly the flag of the "Second Republic of Oteki" puppet government that administered Txotai from 1966 to 1970. These flags are considered reactionary, and can only be used for educational purposes.

Moronus does not ban any flags, as it would be a restriction on the freedom of expression. On the same grounds, flag "desecration" is also legal.

All flags are banned except the national flag and the various Jolly Rogers.

If anyone puts up a swastika we make sure to put up a sign saying Indian symbol for peace. many of our second world war veteran families actually fly the Nazi flag for the hell of it, even the Jewish population of the USoR don't complain, in fact they do the same thing for shits and giggles. Most swastikas in our nation are the Indian peace symbol version anyway.

we don't ban many flags.

-Any flag that portrays communism, socialism, and anarchism in a positive light, such as the flag of the Soviet Union or the "A on a circle" black flag.

-The LGBT "pride" flag, since homosexuality is illegal and extremely frowned upon.

-The previous flag of Zokoria, which was used from 1884 until 1999.

-Flags of regimes that aren't recognized by the Zokorian government, such as the flags of the "People's Republic" of Namor or the post-1917 regime of Iglesiantis.

Most flags are banned, the only exceptions being:

-The Kriegizstani flag.

-Any flag used by a nation in our region.

-Any flag used by a opressive nation.

All other flags are banned, unless you burn them, in which case they are allowed so long as they are burned.

After the civil war in Tiberia all flags of the old seperate governments are banned, as well as the flag and crest of the "Tiberian Faith Movement" who fought a bloody war against the government. Thes flags are however legal to be shown in museums, just not by private owners.

In addition to them being banned for flying normally, the Riserlandish government encourages large groups of citizens burning flags with swastikas and other fascist imagery in the streets on certain holidays.

Religious symbols are banned in public however are allowed in the privacy of one's home.
