Public Service Announcements of your country

[Hippostania]

Are there any public service announcements on your country's TV? If yes, what kind of PSA's? If no, why not?

In Hippostania, PSA's are only shown on the three goverment-owned channels, HBC 1, HBC 2 and HBC h. Most PSA's are cartoons and often quite humorous. This is so people would actually watch them instead of turning the TV off. Here is an example of a Hippostanian PSA warning about the dangers of communism

[Tchandra]

Our PSA's are brainwashing propaganda supporting Communism.

@ Hippostania: I don't know whether your 'opinions' are mirrored ICly with NS country- but if they are my country hates yours. Passionately.

In the interests of freedom of speech, expression and non-interference with peoples lives- there are no radio, television or internet streaming sites owned by the government that broadcast political messages inciting hate or brainwashing of any kind. True democratic freedom is visible when the people are allowed to make their own decisions without being forced. SBC stations 1, 2 are mainstream public broadcasters. Funded by the state but act solely independently of any government body. SBC has four other TV stations and 6 radio stations as well as a large website. In the event of an emergency so grave the public have to informed, all the SBC channels and other selected satellite/cable/digital stations in the mainstream domain broadcast a government message describing and informing of the situation.

Meh, I dislike communism but that PSA is seriously exaggerated

[Swilatia]

Wow, that PSA thingy pretty much shows everything that's wrong with your nation... well, everything except your drug policy - do you have PSA's about that, also?

Honestly, nothing says "freedom and democracy" like hauling some-one off to jail because of their political beliefs. You're really not any better than the "freedom-hating commies" when it comes down to this. Here in Swilatia, a proud communist would probably get laughed at, but they have the same freedom of speech as any-one else.

[Imeriata]

Indeed there are quite a few public service announcements made on both radio, television, in short stories in the news papers, in comics and in preaches made in the various temples, churches, mosques and other religious institutions.

Such PSAs might revolve around the necessary of a clod bath in the morning, the healthy properties of smoking tobacco, how to properly obey your superiors on the social hierarchy, the dangers of forbidden ideologies and abandoning the old ways, how to act amongst foreigners as their strange and barbaric customs might seem strange to us upstanding gentlemen and ladies and of course many ones that teach both young federal subjects and foreigners now within our blessed borders how to act properly

Some examples of federal public service announcements can be seen bellow which is two films dealing with the dangers and how to spot mental illnesses and the necessities of self defence and how to defend yourself.

Excuse me, but somewhere on this thread you called other nation undemocratic because it's official title was "Socialist Republic" (you argued that no country with an official ideology can be free and democratic). Isn't it a hypocrisy?

[Maraque]

State-sponsored PSAs are unconstitutional, as the government is to remain impartial, although private organizations routinely run PSAs all the time. There's probably a PSA about everything here, with enough money and places willing to broadcast it.

In emergency situations, PSAs on such subjects are not unconstitutional.

If a nation has an official ideology, of course that nation isn't democratic. Hippostania doesn't have an official ideology, so I don't know why would you call us hypocritical

Offensive propaganda and arresting people for their beliefs aren't undemocratic?

[New Dahlonega]

PSAs released by the Commonwealth Government will have nothing to do with ideology and systems of government, but will instead be released during emergencies with the objective of alerting large numbers of people nationwide to some kind of serious risk.

PSAs about other things may be privately sponsored, and are released all the time.

Hippostanian underground communists want to steal other people's property and money. That is illegal in Hippostania, you know. So of course terrorist organizations are not allowed.

What was the point of your PSA? Shouldn't it educate people about what communism is, rather than repeat common stereotypes and biases?

99% of Hippostanian communists are terrorists. That PSA was made so people could easily spot them and know what to do in case they see one.

[Icamera]

Yes, government officials have spent countless hours working on a PSA to curb the usage of illegal drugs.

As you can see, drugs will no longer be a problem after this baby runs on the Icameran Broadcasting Channel. Like Hippostania, we use humor to keep the citizens watching.

Your nation is about as democratic as RL North Korea.

On topic, while we have PSAs, about common things, like no to drugs, anti-bullying and so on, we do not use propaganda.

Now there's a PSA worth showing!

[Ahi Maunga]

In Ahi Maunga PSA are played on all TV Stations except for children's programming. The PSAs are often graphic and depict violent crashes and scenes.
They often discuss over drinking, and drink driving. They often have motto's for the campaign such as "Its not the drinking - it's how we're drinking" and "If you're mates pissed, your screwed." Here are a few examples:

Other PSA discuss speeding. The campaigns are also known for mottos such as "The faster you go, the bigger the mess" and "If your prepared to speed, be prepared to kill." A few examples of Speeding PSAs:

In the past year there have been campaigns for intersection safety. Many car collisions happen in intersections, due to unsafe driving. The campaign motto has been "Intersections: Bad decisions can be deadly."

You know that only makes it worse, right? They'll just laugh more. They're already convinced they can't be wrong.

PSA announcements in the Commonwealth, as previously noted, are not political in nature, but are designed to alert people to some grave risk, such as bullying, drug use, etc...

Yeah, true :/
But it's kinda claim that a nation is undemocratic when it held parliamentary elections a few weeks ago

There are three channels operated by Federal TV. FTV One reports what's going on in the National Assembly, while FTV Two reports what's going on in the Senate. FTV Three tends to consist of interviews and political documentaries. It also provide news, and is generally considered to be fairly bias-free, but most people tend to watch privately-owned channels.
