The Mercatorum have a mixture of attitudes.

While nudity in most circumstances is frowned upon, not for the least of reasons that if one is naked they are necessarily not in accordance with the high fashion standards of the Mercatorum. Should a man walk stark naked about in the streets, he would only illicit strange looks, not any legal action. Of course it is near universally legal for a people to remove said naked people from their private property or stores.

However if you went to the beach or to a public pool, nudity would be quite normal, as it is considered rather silly to the Mercatorum to wear clothes in the water.


As to public sex, it is likewise technically legal, but highly disapproved of culturally. Still it happens, and generally we don't make much of a fuss. As long as it is between married couples.

Have all the sex you want, wherever you want, as long as it is out of the way of the authorities (who will order you to move on), out of sight of those who will become offended and that you disinfect the area if it is in public or on someone else's property.

As for nudity, it is prohibited and generally considered illegal due to the fact that it is unhygienic. Sapient species who have exposed genetils (humans, orcs, elves and most anthropomorphs) and required to wear underwear at the very least in public, but private properties are allowed to force people to wear more. Creatures with contained genetils (equines, draconids/reptilids and some anthropomorphs) are not required to wear undergarments, but are urged to.

Nudity and sex are considered private things. It is illegal to walk around in public with the genitals showing at a fine of $250 and $1000 if children are nearby. Walking around a private residence or a business where such behavior is accepted is seen as a personal choice. Laws and attitudes toward sex is similar however penalties for public sex is harsher. Depending on the context and situation you can get from 1 month to 5 years in prison for having sex in public.

Though both are legal even in oublic, the general attitude is that it doesn't belong there; in private you can do whatever you want as long as you're seventeen or older and all participants consent.

In the Allied States of New Edom, technically public nudity is compulsory except for soldiers, government officials and clergy. However in practice there are waivers that can be obtained for a number of things, and the practice is highly corrupt. Because it is related to the Edenist Movement which has enormous political power, in many ways the practice is governed according to where in the country it is being enforced. For example in the city of Glasstower it is so strictly enforced that even government officials practice it, while in the city of Reme it is not really enforced at all; people wear clothing of various kinds almost defiantly, caring more for fashion and status than they do for religious zealotry or patriotism. Nearly everyone carries a waiver for something.

Sex on the other hand is another matter--as in many countries public sexual mores tend towards only approving of sex within the private context of marriage. Adultery, homosexuality, and other non-adult heterosexual practices are illegal. Re-Education for homosexuals is an official practice. However in actual practice a general 'don't ask don't tell' is carried out, and the government is too busy to peek into bedrooms. As long as sexual practices are discreet and done generally between consenting adults, people are unlikely to be scrutinized. Public sexual acts will get you arrested--generally. This is not to say that some private clubs or resorts don't allow a certain amount of such things of course, but this is not publicly known of.

Paparian's Dearest Leader's response to this matter:
"If you want to be in the nude or have intercourse,by all means do it in the privacy of your own home.
But in public, dress accordingly for god's sake.As for intercourse,get a room and I order that it be practice safely!That is the end of the matter!
Now excuse me while I scan the beach with my binoculars to see if there is anyone sunbathing in the nude."

In Bolden, sexuality is viewed as a private thing and is enjoyed privately - in other words, unless it's a health related channel or radio station or so, sex and sexuality is not often thoroughly discussed on television or any other media. Since we're considered to be a Christian nation, we encourage that sex is to be enjoyed Only within marriage. We try to make things as easy as possible for our citizens, so we do not have any mandatory marriage laws within the nation - in other words, the government doesn't "recognize" marriage and views it as a personal decision and covenant between two people.

Public nudity is, of course, illegal. If you wanna walk around nude, do it in your own home.

Pornography is illegal in Bolden. You will be fined and arrested if you create pornography and make it public (like posting it on the internet / any other kind of media or so instead of keeping it to yourself), or attempt to create "midnight" (strip or brothel) clubs. Of course, if you're with someone, it wouldn't be illegal to send them videos / photos of yourself or so..But don't post that crap on the internet or anything else popular for everyone else to see.

Public nudity is completely legal (and compulsory during Summer months), but sex is something considered private and not allowed in public.

Nudity is common in Novus Niciae and it is perfectly acceptable to walk around naked if the climate permits it.

Public sex is permitted in certain parks in every city or town. Outside of these areas there is a fine for such behavior if it causes a disturbance (if nobody complains the police will turn a blind eye).

Male nudity is frowned upon.Female nudity receives the opposite treatment. Male promiscuity is considered less favorable too. However very little is considered taboo.

All our men are mandated to go to thrice weekly gym sessions and all our women are expected to attend the twice weekly dance classes. Furthermore, public nudity is compulsory and police officers enforce a perpetual massive orgy in the city-streets; morning, noon and evening. Traffic has grinded to a halt since the highways are littered with used condoms and massive migration from neighboring countries (due to our liberal sex attitude [Age of consent is seven and prostitution is a prestigious career choice] and drug policy [all drugs are legal]. Thus, our streets are perpetually crowded with horny people having sex with grannies and children as young as seven as both men and women waste their brains getting high on the latest drugs. Furthermore, abortion clinics had become as common as toilets in Bodhicruise and you could have an abortion for the cheap price of 5 dollars. The aborted baby is then properly handled and served as food in our many fetus fast-food chains. Sex Olympics are also broadcasted in the Television everyday and children are taught to become hookers and gigolos the moment they reach three.
