Pornography in your Nation

Postby The New Dog Nation » Fri Sep 13, 2013 7:16 am

- What is your nations stance on Pornography?
- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
- Any thing else you would like to add?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- What is your nations stance on Pornography?
We like to remain neutral on the matter. We don't care if people watch it or don't watch it.
- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
Any type of pornography that involves either minors or unwanted* harm is against the law.
- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
While it is a prominent industry, it is far to open to take proper statistics of it. I mean, anyone with a video camera and a bit of time could make porn.
- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
Pedophilia and any snuff film is considered to be worse.
- Any thing else you would like to add?
(*We know some people are in to that, and we don't like to judge, just as long as both parties agree to it first)

1. The only kind that is regulated is the kind that does not involve consent from both parties. No laws on animated works.
2. It is a very large industry.
3. Anything before our nations age of consent at 15. Also snuff films.
4. not really.

Q: What is your nations stance on Pornography?
A: Tolerant.

Q: Does your nation have any laws regulating it?

Q: Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
A: Not that large. Average. Also, amateurs make it themselves and usually release it to the net free of charge.

Q: Any thing else you would like to add?
A: Not much to say. It is legal and as it is nothing more than fiction, it is available to anyone over 12.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography? Officially? Neutral. The public have differing opinions on it.
- Does your nation have any laws regulating it? Mandatory STI screening; participants must be above the age of 17; scenes depicting bestiality are illegal.
- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way? Not as large as, say, the industry is in the US, but it isn't tiny.
- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others? Some of the more fetishised stuff is frowned upon. Child pornography is viewed very negatively.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography?
It's absolutely nothing special. Just another form of entertainment.
- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
Only those that regard creating and distributing anything else. There are no special provisions made for it. Although the porn actors union does impose internal standards including regular health examinations.
- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
Yes, the fact that Purpelia has no laws regulating sex means that we can and do create a large amount of material that would be illegal in other places (do I really need to draw you a bear?) and export it far and wide. Pay per view websites are particularly popular as our nation wide internet proxy/firewall works both ways in concealing just what website foreigners visit (we don't give away the redirection laws and streaming is difficult to track) and thus your payments and views can't be tracked and you can't be convicted.
- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
Worse? Better? It's just entertainment. Seriously.
- Any thing else you would like to add?
For information on how to get your hands on cheap and discrete pornography contact your local Purpelian embassy. And remember. We don't extradite, we don't cooperate, we don't work with your police.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Postby Imperium Sidhicum » Fri Sep 13, 2013 7:41 am

The Sidh people view pornography with mixed feelings. To Sidhae, it seems unusual that some apparently self-loathing human prudes view naked bodies and sexual acts with disgust, and likewise it seems unusual that most humans don't seem to mind violence and gore, such as an axe splitting a head shown on media, yet find the depiction of vaginal penetration objectionable.

At the same time, Sidhae view pornography as degrading to the participants. Sexual acts are meant to be intimate, not for everyone to see, and fornicating in public view (or recording the act to be shown to the public) is an animal thing, surely beneath Sidh dignity.


As a result, pornography available in the Imperium almost exclusively depicts humans, being either a black market import from the Federation, or produced locally in the human ghettos. There are no official laws for or against it, just unwritten rule that state it may not be shown in public locations or distributed anywhere near government buildings.


Within the Imperium, the industry is small and local (planetary) in scale, most customers being soldiers and spacers who often spend a long time isolated from the opposite sex. It is clearly not important to economy, especially considering how the porn market is dominated by black market imports.


Unlike humans who view certain forms of porn as "worse", Sidhae have no such qualms, so child pornography, bestiality, necrophilia and other such things are fair game, should anyone find such normally disgusting things arousing. Rape and torture porn seems to be a particular favourite from among the "sick" varieties, being one of the few kinds of porn where Sidh participation is deemed appropriate, since it shows Sidhae completely subduing and dominating humans, and those into such depravities often indeed do record their exploits to share with friends. Curiously, regular "vanilla" porn with a Sidh actor would be considered more inappropriate, since it displays a degree of equality between human and Sidh partners. A Sidh is expected to command only fear, obedience and awe, not pleasure, from a human.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The more God in one's mouth, the less in one's heart.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography? Neutral

- Does your nation have any laws regulating it? The Adult Industry and Content Act (AICA), stating that no performer under 18 (or over 50, that's gross) are allowed to take part in the business, and also making 16 the minimum legal age to buy such materials. The animal stuff, necro, shit and things I don't even come up are not regulated but generally considered traits of mental disorder. Psychologists are feathering their nest.

- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way? It is amongst Czech inmigrant comunities.

- Are certain variations of it considered worse than others? Sales figures suggest lesbian porn is overwhelmingly popular compared to other kind of porn. No wonder why Avalonians are also good LBGT rights' fanatic supporters.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography?

The OCPK party and the government does not approve of any pornographic or erotic material. They are considered "Decadent Western Influence", and as such, are not allowed in Kaitjan.

- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
Production and distribution is punished by a small fine, but the punishment may involved even up to 5 years in prison or in a labour camp. Merely owning material is also illegal, and punished with a fine. This is rarely enforced however, as the police usually have other things to care about, and few courts are willing to spend time on such a petty case.

- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
There is no official or legal pornographic industry in Kaitjan, but there is however widespread smuggling of materials across the border (the border guards seem to rarely catch anyone carrying such) and there is a growing number of films, photos and magazines being produced illegally. This issue has been condemned by the OCPK, but nothing has yet been made to counter this trend.

- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
Bestiality is considered especially bad. No laws have been made as of yet concerning underage actors.

- Any thing else you would like to add?
One of the reasons crimes involving pornography are rarely punished or investigated, is due to a loophole in another law - the Act of Propaganda and OCPK. The law states that it is unlawful to censor or prohibit any material containing the OCPK party symbols. Many filmmakers just put a picture of a national hero or the OCPK party somewhere in the video or picture, and often manage to escape punishment.
The People's Republic of Kaitjan is a nation most glorious: a totalitarian communist dictatorship set against a backdrop of vast jungles, great rivers and a horribly tropical climate. Kaitjan is renowned for its all-encompassing militarism, rampant xenophobia, isolationist tendencies and a great love for tigers and tiger motifs.

What is your nations stance on Pornography?
-The government allows pornography and other such XXX related material.
Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
-Yes the government has put together a plan to regulate pornography to prevent child pornography from appearing on the internet....
Every Pornographic studio/company needs to have a license to function and it needs to be renewed every 5 years.....
before an actor can be casted it is important for him/her to show a birth certificate....
before the renewal of a license an inspection will happen which is to make sure the actors are not falling prey to abuse and if a studio/company is running without a license then the owner will be fined and jailed.

- What is your nations stance on Pornography?
Perfectly fine with it, but most Pusatians can argue for the good part of a day about whether it is an art form or not.
- Does your nation have any laws regulating it?
Some city states have laws on the books about it, but in the face of the world that they're in, it's pretty useless. The largest of the states has no official policy on pornography, apart from the ban on child pornography and sex trades.
- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
It's increasingly been seen as more of a hobby to do or a subplot in any major movie production, so no: Not important to the economy as far as we're concerned.
- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
In consideration of it as an art form, many have argued that certain other art forms are much worse than others due to complete uncertainty as to what the main point of the piece being done is about. (Take modern art for example)
Simply as a sexual piece, there is an abundance of porn related to cartoons and the like due to the relaxed laws in Pusatia as compared to Old Earth. Still, many Pusatians are generally uncomfortable about it regardless.
- Any thing else you would like to add?
None insofar as this questionnaire is concerned.

We leave it well enough alone, though we do have restrictions regarding porn depicting scat, rape, pedophilia, and certain forms of interspecies sex. The punishment for the possession of such items is a fine of fifty to a hundred DD and confiscation of the porn in question. On the Internet, Saurisian porn websites do have the sense to not include such depictions. Pornography in Saurisia is mostly in drawn form since we find the photos and videos too fakey for our liking. That and we tend to appreciate paintings, drawings, and computer-made art more than photography.

- Is it a large industry or important to the economy in any way?
Since Fatatatutians have a relaxed attitude toward nudity and sex, production of pornography is common here, much of it for foreign markets where people are more repressed. How large a proportion of the economy it forms is not certain.

- Are certain variations of it considered worse then others?
Anything that harms another person is subject to lawsuits but nothing is inherently taboo.
