Pornography along with prostitution, the sex industry in general is one of our biggest sources of income besides drugs, arms and gambling as well as more reputable businesses like banking.

To us Syndicate folks, the only difference between various kinds of porn is whether or not you can sell it on open market. The regular "vanilla" porn that is legal in most nations around the world is one thing, but it's the more... unusual niche porn that really pays. Child pornography, for example, is an excellent earner, since there are plenty of perverts willing to spend whatever dough they are asked just to indulge their cravings. Rape and snuff films are also good earners, but there are relatively few customers who are both interested and have the means to afford them - though, of course, the Information Age has opened up new possibilities, such as showing pay-per-view murders, rapes and torture sessions live on internet over secure channels.

Making money by selling porn is one thing. Producing porn or partaking in it, however, is considered disreputable, so no Syndicate member is permitted to do that. They are permitted to cash in a percentage from porn producers and provide ones shooting the more extreme varieties with fresh victims, but not to have a personal hand in the films themselves in any capacity.

Strangely enough, we have a whole law defining that one.

Us tentacles don't partake in this "pornography" like you pesky humans do.

However, we seem to be rather popular in pornography produced by you pesky humans. We're still not really sure why.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography? It's a great way to make money off of biologicals, and it doesn't hurt us one bit. So it's a great product. It's also easy to get into. Just install some data packs on Biological Reproduction and an advanced pack on Realistic CGI, and you're ready to roll.

Of course, formerly-human immigrants are the best at making porn because they know what's "hot" instead of just "what is physically possible." Some of them do have an overly-strong tendency to make mechanophile porn starring a Decepticon and a human, though. Unfortunately, that genre sells best right in our own immigrant communities, but has a small audience everywhere else.

- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
One must not show Megatron or any other high-ranking official in a "demeaning" situation. Merely being CGI'd into a porn show is not considered demeaning, though. For an example, a scene with Megatron being majestic and virile is fine (and there are plenty of these scenes in our immigrant-produced porn). One showing him and Optimus Prime in a compromising position, however, will have DomIntel bashing your door down before the night is over.

- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
It's not a "large" industry, but it is substantial enough that we would feel a bit of a ding if it suddenly stopped selling.

- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
Not in practice. In fact, we take massive advantage of foreigners' tendency to categorize it along such scales. Just like with drugs, we try to cover the markets that are banned elsewhere. Of course, we don't exactly tell the customers that the "humans" in our films are all hyper-realistic CGI representations. Our porn is so realistic that it can fool most foreign law enforcement, and we gladly palm it off as the real thing whenever possible.

Among educated Decepticons, child porn is considered to be the worst. It causes severe glitches in the youngsters, who are the relevant species' next generation, and those glitches don't completely go away even after decades. It's considered extremely stupid for a species to mess up its own progeny. We'll gladly draw it up, though - CGIs aren't real, so we don't care what they're used to show. Therefore, there is no practical distinction made among genres. It's all fake.


- Any thing else you would like to add?
The lack of real porn doesn't meant that we don't have any domestic-release movies made for the prurient interest. Ours just focuses on things other than sex. Snuff and torture films are rather common, and disturbingly, the ones that only show robots are usually legit. They're also quite legal. If someone gets killed, it shows that he wasn't able to defend himself - and that motivates others to upgrade. The government generally supports everything that results in a combination of a motivation to upgrade and the removal of the weak. In fact, it is believed that some of these real Decepticon snuff and torture films are made by the government itself and distributed by the Bureau of Propaganda.

Another interesting tidbit about this particular genre is that we do have some biological customers for it. These buyers are typically in the wrecking industry, and despite the lack of overt sexual content, the sight of giant Decepticons being dismantled or melted down alive really turns them on. While we find it quite cringeworthy that there are humans who get excited by that, we also find it quite lucrative. Therefore, you can sign up for the Iacon Foundry Live Feed - RAW for only $1,000 in oil per month or the Interplanetary Oil Procurement Corporation's Mob Enforcement Movie Series - Dismantlements for just $5,000 in oil per episode.

You're quite hot...er, well, as long as the "sewer-dwelling" part isn't obvious, that is. With tentacles, one being = all ports covered. ~General Carjack

- What is your nations stance on Pornography? Legal. We'd rather have all the fetishists and pedophiles and plain old hormone-addled teenagers watching it than actually doing it. Teenage pregnancies and rapes can grow to be a problem, so we fix it by letting people satisfy their sexual desires online.

- Does your nation have any laws regulating it? Nope.

- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way? It's average. Not really important to the economy, 99% is free.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography? It is legal here.
- Does your nation have any laws regulating it? If it's illegal to do outside of porn, it's illegal to do inside of porn. For instance, the actors must be of age and competent, and rape is naturally forbidden. That said, it is perfectly legal to simulate illegal acts, and we take great care to ensure that it's only ever simulation.
Also, we have heavy safety regulations meaning that actors must get regularly tested for STIs and can't be ... ah ... pushed beyond their limits. Not to mention workers' rights legislation ensuring that contracts are kept. (The actors have more freedom in this regard than directors/producers; if an actor violates their end of the deal, they might not get paid, but if the director or producer violates theirs, they can be heavily fined, and if it's serious they can even have their right to direct/produce such films revoked.)
- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way? Medium. Plenty of pornographers are attracted by our relatively loose free speech laws, though some (not as many) are driven away by our health, safety, and workers' rights regulations.
- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others? Culturally, of course some things will always be more taboo than others. Things like simulated rape — while legal in most cases — aren't exactly something you want to mention around the water cooler.
- Any thing else you would like to add? Not particularly.

Persons convicted of the possession, sale or distribution of any pornographic materials face the same sentence; imprisonment for ten years at hard labour, tantamount to a death sentence.

What is your nations stance on Pornography?
Not that popular really, definitely a topic that one should keep to themselves and is generally frowned upon. However, you can't really stop free online pornography from the internet, so despite the laws, it's quite easy to access it if you want.

Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
Technically, distributing and buying it in any way is illegal, with fines and a short jail time for anyone caught buying/selling it. Making your own and keeping it for yourself should also be illegal, but the government realised how infeasible that was, even if the nation are mostly devout Muslims. Viewing certain types is illegal as well, and you can actually be sentenced to rehab if evidence of them is found by police.

Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
No.

Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
Non-consensual of any form (including children, animals, etc.) is banned, as is any porn involving heavy violence. Gay porn is heavily frowned upon. Many other types are also not held in any high regard.

No.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography?
Officially, there is no stance on pornography, but people have varying opinions of it.

- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
Pornographic material is split into two categories: Actual, and Synthetic.

Actual pornography, depicted with sentient humanoid actors, has regulations which protect the participants from physical and mental harm. Bestiality and paedophilia are both illegal, as is non-consented BDSM. Synthetic pornography, depicted with nonsentient humanoids (such as robots) or as animation, is completely unregulated, as it is impossible for any actual harm to be caused (in the case of robots, any "harm" is usually a design flaw or an accident).

- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
It has no real economic significance, but it's a reasonably large industry.

- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
That depends on the personal belief of every citizen (2 billion and counting). You do the math.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography?
It is legal but highly stigmatized. It is scene as a bad sexual outlet that lead to nothing but frustration.

- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
If you choose to publicize pornography, both participants must be 18 or older.

- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?

- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?

Nope
