[Heavenly Valkyries]

What exactly is "prostitution"? We use this term for soldiers and sub-officers who flirt with the officers to make career more quickly. It is not forbidden, but it is not something of which to be proud: "she did fast career as a prostitute" people says, and it is not a compliment.

[Viet Rouge]

No it's not. Pornography is also illegal

[Alahana]

Prostitution is legal, the only restriction is that it has to be closed for minors, so no windows with naked people.

[Beiluxia]

Prostitution was completely illegal in Beiluxia until recently. After Parliament decriminalised it federally & vested jurisdiction to local authorities, prostitution is now highly regulated. Most cities, towns, and district councils outright ban the practice, though some major cities have red-light districts where the practice is legal at certain times of the day.

[Krumolia]

Prostitution is legal in Krumolia but it is regulated in order to protect sex workers from violence and prevent STD epidemics.

[Viksberg]

Prostitution is strictly forbidden in Viksberg. The usual punishment from prostitution is 1000 viksbergian mark fine.

[The Islands of Versilia]

Prostitution is fully legal and lightly regulated. A sort of prostitute, known as red maidens, are highly common and are similar to onsen geisha but viewed much more positively in the general public eye.

[Gandoor]

Prostitution is legal, but regulated. One must be at least 20 years old to be a prostitute or to employ their 'services', weekly STD tests are mandatory by law, and prostitutes may only promote their 'services' at licensed brothels.

[Alizeria]

No. Soliciting or using a prostitute can result in a $50,000 fine or three months imprisonment, supply of sex services can lead to up to one year in prison.

[Askesis]

The clerics have deemed the practice illegal. Pornography is also illegal. The punishment for prostitution is a year in the monastery for the seller. For the buyer the penalty is a fine valued at twice the amount paid to the prostitute and a year in the monastery. For buyers and sellers with children or spouses their monastery time is replaced with twice weekly bible study classes and once weekly community service.

[West Violence]

It is absolutely legal here in the Commonwealth.

[Kenmoria]

Legal but heavily controlled and extremely discouraged,

[Greater Dragunovia]

Illegal and Disapproved by the Religious Majority.

[Furon (Ancient II)]

Illegal except for state purposes, disapproved by most, used only by the nationalized mafia (Eighth Legion, 3,3,八) to extort or extract information out of important foreigners. Others function as assassins within the same outfit (Eighth Legion, 3,1,八).

Those caught are exiled from their district and their names are put on a blacklist to warn other districts not to allow lodging or employment. Typically, a divorce also occurs as the jilted spouse would suffer incredible social pressure otherwise. Since only "healthy families" have vorting rights and blacklisted workers have no employment rights, the consequences function as a severe deterrant for most.

[Liburia]

It is legal in five of the republics and illegal in the other four.

[Imperium Sidhicum]

Sidhae are required to maintain proper decorum befitting of a master race, and therefore strictly forbidden from partaking or directly profiting from disreputable occupations like pornography, prostitution or slave trade, which entail "fleshmongering", i.e., making one's own or someone else's body available for the pleasure of others in any form. Prostitution in particular is therefore reserved exclusively for humans to organize and partake in.

That being said, Sidhae are permitted to use the services provided by pimps, pornographers and slave traders as customers (selling to the aforementioned involves "directly profiting" and is hence forbidden).

Like all other human enterprises, prostitution establishments are allowed to operate within the confines of the human ghettos. On starbases and worlds without any ghettos, entrepreneuring humans may obtain an "extra-territorial residence permit", essentially starting up their own mini-ghetto comprised just of their enterprises and residences, the difference from a proper ghetto being mainly in their residents being allowed access to the Sidh parts of the city or starbase in question as a matter of practical necessity. Although looked down upon as lowlife scum by Sidhae and many of their fellow humans, pimps and prostitutes are tolerated for the services they provide.

Since Sidhae are of higher class and status than humans, they are correspondingly very demanding customers, so brothels catering primarily to a Sidh clientele are likewise high-class establishments. Prostitutes in these venues are consequently well looked after. Many such brothels are organized by the prostitutes themselves to protect against exploitation and enslavement that often accompanies entrusting protection and security to pimps and their associates. Other, usually less-reputable establishments, are run by the ghetto gangs. The gangs also provide niche services for the more twisted and bizarre tastes where coercion and violence is often involved, such as child prostitutes and victims for sexual sadism. As far as the Imperial authorities are concerned, it is beyond their competence or concern, humans not being Sidhae and hence not subject to Imperial laws and conventions.

The one exception to Sidh involvement in prostitution are the hetairae, though any self-respecting hetaira would respond violently to the mere suggestion of comparing her occupation to a common prostitute. Although outsiders often use the term "courtesan" to describe the hetairae, Sidhae much prefer "socialite" or "companion" instead.

Sidh hetairae are essentially professional high-class entertainers, having more in common with Japanese geishas of old than courtesans, let alone prostitutes, the mere comparison to which would be seen as a grave insult to their profession and person. Their job entails providing company with intelligent conversation and discussion, artistic performances, games and general refinement, any sexual encounters taking place at their own discretion rather than as part of the services provided. The professional standards of a hetaira are very demanding, her (or more rarely, him) being required to be well-mannered and sophisticated, highly-sociable, knowledgeable on many subjects and up to date with the latest news and gossip. Hetairae are hired by Sidhae of rank and status to accompany them on public events and serve as hostesses in private banquets and receptions, where they take upon themselves to entertain the guests, and while they may become the mistresses of their clients at their own discretion, the sponsorship they receive is by no means provided for any sexual favours.

[Constitutional Technocracy of Minecraft]

Prostitution is legal in the CTM, however the sex industry is owned by the government to protect prostitutes and minimise spread of STIs (anyone who purchases services from a prostitute can be randomly tested for STIs, and prostitutes are legally required to undergo regular STI tests)
