In our nation, it's virtually open, apart from obvious things like libel laws/ obscene publications act etc. so pretty good in this respect. We adhere to EU law on this, even though it's not compulsory in our area.

Censorship is at the discretion of the user.

I have multiple puppets here; only a select few are used to represent the continent of Astholm; others used represent Westholme, and do not artificially boost my nation's statistics.Previously i used puppets with nation names that did not identify as Astholm (e.g. Australis Australia; now all new puppets use ASTHLM, NORTHLM, SOUTHLM, WESTHLM (HLM denoting The Holmes.
NOTE: Other uses of Astholm here have a different continuity and refer to work created by the user Astholm, not the nation

Censorship and lies are not taken kindly. Our internet, like our media, has state-controlled sources, private media controlled sources, and sources updated by regular people. Piracy is accepted and is legal.

The Internet is here is unregulated, treated as practically a foreign nation. Acts committed on the Internet are legally treated as if they had been committed in a foreign nation unless the act can be proven to have occurred on a site specifically situated here, by a person situated here, against a person situated here. For instance, if someone commits fraud on the Internet, he cannot be charged with any crime unless he actually brings the money here, whereupon he is charged with money-laundering, because the fraud itself was committed outside of Awesomeland (on the Internet).

Censorship is unheard of, mostly because in our culture it is customary to react with violence to the attempt, so a service provider that tried it would likely be torched by an angry mob while witnesses conveniently failed to notice.

Since in our nation, "copyright" only protects the right to any profit derived from the distribution of the work, not the distribution of the work itself, what other nations deem "piracy" is considered to be entirely legal (not to mention occurring outside of our jurisdiction if it is happening on the Internet).

You can do pretty much anything you want except for putting zoophilic, necrophile, and child porn on the net. Images of true abuse are also illegal. That is still considered morally reprehensible and punishable

As for restrictions, we have none.

If you can pay your local provider's fees, then you're good to go. No censorship, no restrictions, nothing.
If you are opposed to Israel and support the Palestinians, what you are supporting, basically, is a campaign of total genocide against the Jewish people.

Everyone is entitled to FREE internet. There are wireless hotspots everrywhere you can get mobile phone reseption. Kalaspia-Shimarata also has an internal internet, ksnet. This can be picked upin Kalashi province and colony with the internet. Neither are censored, but wedo have a whole cyber police force out there monitering the internet. These people consist of hackers and injured police officers. They check random public websites to see if there are any crimes or viruses, spywehere etc. You can also submit a report to them and they will investigate it. This is the only time they are allowed to check private websites, emails, social network accounts etc. Other than that, they are STRICTLY FORBIDEN from viewing private or semi-private (i.e. Intranets, staff only sections of websites etc) things, but they may view public websites, blogs, social networking etc. as you know, they are publicq
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Completely free; nothing is censored on our internet, even child pornography and "piracy". Discretion is at the hands of the user. The Republic works hard to ensure free Wi-Fi access in metropolitan locations and in many rural locations for convenience and education reasons.

Malicious hacking is punishable as though it were a physical action and proven providers of spam within our borders are blocked immediately.
