As a general rule free will of people is essential and central part of the way people can chose to deal with this issue. However there are some limitations in regards to religions. If you have officially taken some religion as your own you are required to follow its rulings on this matter. Therefore certain options are not available to everyone. Each religion can choose its own ways and by choosing a religion you also need to abide its rulings. Condoms for example are not allowed to be sold to or used by catholics. If someone is found to break these rules he or she is to be executed for hiding his opinion or hiding his doings. Hiding stuff or opinions in illegal in the Dominion of Unhiding.

Also the state provides assisted reproductive treatment free of charge. But in case you choose to have abortion you are required to pay the expenses if the reasons are not acceptable (illness, major change in life, money).

[Mount Shavano]

Nitpick: Contraception explicitly refers to preventing conception; post-conception termination (abortion) is not covered by the term.

Most of the listed items are legal in Mount Shavano (abortion being the big exception). As for the degree to which society accepts them... it varies.

For example, it might depend on which pills/medicines.

Nitpick: Contraception explicitly refers to preventing conception; post-conception termination (abortion) is not covered by the term.

[Arkinesia]

Why would we prohibit others from making the socially wise choice of planning families? It's so barbaric.

[Christian Democrats]

The Most Holy and Grand Empire of Christian Democrats is a center-right Catholic state.

- by planning to not have children: Yes. No one is required to have children.

- by using condoms and other equipment: Yes, but heavily taxed.

- abortion: Formerly illegal except to prevent the death of a pregnant woman. Since the passage of General Assembly Resolution 128 (Christian Democrats is a World Assembly member state), abortion is available when maternal life or health is at risk, when the fetus is defective, when pregnancy is the result of rape, and when the pregnant woman is younger than the age of consent (currently, age 14; formerly, age 16).

- are assisted reproductive treatments allowed to treat infertility. Treatments like In vitro fertilisation: Of course they are. About 50% of all children are conceived in test-tubes and grow outside the mother, even if the parents are perfectly fertile on their own.
- tell us more about this issue in your nation: The right to plan one's family is considered a basic right in Frenequesta, hence the legality of nearly all of the above. The monopolization of the Freneq-Joplinian pharmaceutical industry is not only due to the rise of personalized medicine (making mass production of pills meaningless and thus not desirable for privatization and competition), but also because of the perception that such companies over-hyped the presence of certain disorders in the population in order to sell fundamentally needless wares, most notably sexual enhancement medicines, hence why they are almost totally unknown despite being legal.

Sex as a whole is not a taboo of any kind in the Green Something. People are open about it and it is not considered as much personal thing as it some time ago was. Also due to the nation of Green Something being FT we have wide range of tools to control the issue. We don't really have any typical contraceptive pills or even any types of traditional contraceptives. We trust our nanobots doing the heavy lifting for us. Nanobots are injected into our children and can be turned later off with special device. When parents get a permit to have children they also get a device to control their nanobots in regards to this mater.
Also having children is not considered a basic right but something you need to earn.

- also are positive medicine like viagra allowed in your nation: Citizens must pay high taxes on these, like all medical items.
- are assisted reproductive treatments allowed to treat infertility. Treatments like In vitro fertilisation: Legal, yet highly expensive. Only available to the wealthy.
- tell us more about this issue in your nation: Sex is the least of Lovaniye's troubles. Although it is used by the government as a means to suppress the lower-class and generate more workers for the grinder, the poorly educated and impoverished lower-class citizens fail to recognize this. Those born with the gift of a silver spoon will find that they need not reproduce, and in fact choose to adopt in many cases. Interestingly enough, the upper-class has few remaining original bloodlines because of this. The corporation-influenced government secretly encourages this, because it helps them to maintain a "every child is more money in the coffers" approach to the population. Impoverished families with multiple children are offered special benefits for adoption, discounts on medical products, and sometimes even protection against minor legal charges. After all, the child-care market is a small, yet important part of the Nation's income.

- abstinence: Legal, though uncommon. Sexuality is viewed as natural here, so we don't see why it would only be special after marriage.
