Private or government rating system?

[Gallade]

The Galladian Empire has not implemented a ratings system; nor has any private body to the best of our knowledge.

[Conscentia]

Controlled by the Government. The Rating System is not ageist - we do not insult the intelligence of the young. We know for a fact that certain material is psychological harmful to children and the mentally weak/unstable, which is why a rating agency still exists.

Rating System:

Violence - May contain scenes of people getting injured or dying, often by use of weapons. Also may contain gore and blood-letting and blood particles.

Bad Language - May contain profanity, sexual innuendo, threats, and all manner of slurs and epithets.

Fear - May contain scenes that are considered too disturbing or frightening to younger or more emotionally vulnerable players.

Sex - May contain references to sexual attraction or sexual intercourse. Also may contain nudity and characters dressed in suggestive clothing.

Drugs - May contain references to illegal or harmful drugs or a fictional substance that has parallels to real-life illegal drugs (in use, possession, or sale).

Gambling - May contain games of chance and references to the Gambling industry.

Discrimination - May contain cruelty or harassment based on race, species, religion, nationality, ideology, ethnicity, gender, or sexual preferences.

This rating system is used for many forms of media; including games, magazines, music, television programs, and films.
As anyone can access all media, and these warnings help people avoid objectionable/harmful/upsetting media.

[Thurask]

The Culture Ministry classifies films according to the following criteria:

All-Ages: Suitable for everyone
A12: Not suitable for under-12s without a parent
A14: Not suitable for under-14s
A16: Not suitable for under-16s
B: Banned due to obscenity, violence, etc.
CR: Banned due to ideological reasons (stands for "counterrevolutionary").

[-Acadia]

The Acadian Republic has age restrictions on the following media:

Films (including DVD/video sales):
U - "Universelle", viewable by all.
D - "Discrétion", parental discretion advised.
15 - Must be 15 and over.
18 - Must be 18 and over.

Television:
19.00 - Nature certified 15 may be broadcast.
22.00 - Nature certified 18 may be broadcast.

There is no certification for books and CDs.

[Beringovia]

The is no government mandated rating system, but certain types of media (such as films and TV shows) do have voluntary private ratings systems.

[Sophilus]

It's the responsibility of an individual to determine whether they wish to view content or not, or the extent at which they wish to do this.

[New Lyrane]

The Lyranian Institute of Motion Picture Arts has a rating scale of three codes:

Children - Aimed especially at children. No profanity, no blood and gore, only cartoonish violence, unambiguous morality.

General - Suitable for all audiences. Some profanity, some blood, fairly realistic violence, moral ambiguity acceptable, sexual innuendo acceptable.

15 - Over 15 only: anything goes.

[Imeriata]

There are no government rating system but it most game makers write down what they feel is necessary to warn someone so they do not get sued.

[Sidh Ohn]

There is no rating system in Sidh Ohn.

[Hwanghaebuk]

There is a very basic government rating system regarding child exposure to sexual and violent content:

First of all, everyone gets rights to completely free information at 14 years of age. They may not be prevented from accessing any media which isn't rated "A". Before that parents may control their media exposure as long as it isn't abusive.

Vanilla pornography (that is, depictions of aroused genitalia in sexual context without violence, degradation, scat, animal or child sex) is legal for people over 14.

Hard pornography (specifically, violent, degrading or involving scat, animals or children) is rated A; only for legal adults.

Other depictions of nudity and sexuality are allowed at parental discretion before 14 years of age. Specifically, nudity is not considered sexual without a focus on genitals or depiction of arousal.

Realistic but limited or exaggerated but unrealistic violence is legal for people over 14.

Exaggerated violence or scenes of dismemberment and gore are legal for adults.

Milder violence is legal before 14 years at parental discretion.

In addition, visual media must contain a short (and accurate) description of the degree of violent, sexual and horror content in it if not rated 14 or A. Warning about other potentially objectionable content such as language is voluntary.

Private rating systems are only allowed to issue recommendations; a film or a game might be rated "P[arental discretion]; recommended for ages 12 and up"; "P ; suitable for all ages"; "14 ; recommended for adults only" or "A ; we would ban this if we could" and the agency that has made the recommendation must be clearly marked.

[Iglesian Archipelago]

We don't rate anything. Rating systems? We call that censorship.

[Free Pangea]

There is no mandatory rating system or media censorship of any kind, however TV networks are allowed to use their own rating systems or have a private group do it.

[Faolinn]

Generally speaking there is no rating system however their are age advisory rankings that are placed on boxes by consumer interest groups. However it considered pointless to regulate what people view once they hit fifteen.

[Seperate Vermont]

The government may not censor. And quite frankly, any private rating would be ignored and far from government mandated.

[Eeri]

The entertainment industry assigns its own classification and ratings system. The Government has not had any place in the regulation of such systems since the 1930s.

[Arnich]

all media are state-run. But no rating system exists,
