[The Strangers Club]

Is Prostitution Legal in your Nation? Absolutely!
If it is, is it regulated in any way? Nope, as long as you are 16+ (legal age in my country) then it's fine. But even that may change as Strange lawmakers are thinking of lowering the legal age of consent all the way to 13 (same age as Japan). As for price goes, we are are an anarchic-capitalizt society (as you can see by my nation's page) therefore, we believe in free market policies so you can set your price for prostitution as low or high as you want. Heck, some people even do it for free lol.
If it is not legal, what does your nation do to the citizens that commit the crime? If the prostitute is below the age of consent then they are usually given a ticket and they are required to pay a small fee (just a slap on the wrist kind of thing). If they don't have enough money then they are offered 90 days to pay the ticket or face being sent to a young offenders institution where they are forced to work for various jobs that the facility offers in order to pay off their ticket that they still haven't played off in the 90 days that they were given. This is quite rare as you can imagine since most people are either able to pay it off because the price for the ticket is very low or by 90 days have more than enough money to pay it off. There also is the option for the parents to pay the fee for their child too.
What is the government's stance on the issue? We are actually quite supportive of it and encourage anyone who likes having sex who needs to make ends meet. We also wouldn't discriminate or treat anyone differently for being a prostitute. After all, they are just like everyone else in this world trying to make a living doing what they do best much like porn stars/strippers.
What are your citizens thoughts on the issue? Pretty much the same as the government. Although, there are conservatives (and they are rising) out there who look down upon prostitutes and the like. They even have a political party called the Strange Conservative Party which is strongly against prostitution and similar industries. Thankfully, they are not anywhere close to the majority... yet.
Are there any major groups (Religions, Businesses, Political Parties, ect) that support it? Religions, not so much as religion in general is not heard of much over here. Most Strangers are atheists/agnostics and generally don't believe in sin. Most businesses and political parties support it except for the Strange Conservative Party (SCP) as I might have mentioned earlier.
Are there any major groups (Religions, Businesses, Political Parties, ect) that do not support it? Besides the Strange Conservative Party, there is not too many people who dislike prostitution. The only other businesses that I can think of are conservative-owned businesses. As for religion, well I'm sure that there are but religion itself is so rare in The Strangers Club that it doesn't really matter.
Is it important to the economy in anyway?
Anything Else? Now that you mention it, there is a crazy Greek religious cult who has recently been terrorizing and sacrificing prostitutes to their god named Erebus (which means darkness/shadows). That counts as a religion, right?

What is the government's stance on the issue? It has been legal since 1965, and the current center-right political party (the New Republican Party) in power has no intention of reversing its legality anytime soon.
What are your citizens thoughts on the issue? Many believe it is unethical, but believe it should be legal due to concerns about personal liberties and the such. A vocal religious minority are strongly opposed to it, whereas many in the business sector believe it's a beneficial trade for Greater Cesnica.
Are there any major groups (Religions, Businesses, Political Parties, ect) that support it? The entertainment industry, major tourism conglomerates, and most Libertarian-leaning political parties, including the New Republican Party, etc.

Anything Else? Prostitution was legalized by an act of Parliament in 1965 by the Social Democratic Front party following a social shift in the Greater Cesnican justice system, intent on punishing more violent offenses and offenses against the government rather than acts considered corrupt or immoral.

Many religious groups in the Federation are against prostitution, with a certain religious leader being quoted as saying: "People who pay for sex with a poor and desperate prostitute are paying to sexually assault them, with the false hope your money will help pay for food on their table, or to support their children."
