Free Speech In Your Nation

Postby The Multiversal Species Alliance » Sun Sep 09, 2012 8:45 am

How is free speech treated in your nation?
Formerly, discriminatory speech (hate speech) in public was stricly illegal, now however, one may say whatever they want in public by decree of the Leader of the Alliance. However, due to our culture, educational system, and multicultural & multiethnic society, if one were to discriminate gainst someone in public or private, they would likely receive a light smack or a stern talking to.
In regards to RP,see my factbook:

You can say whatever you want but you shouldn't say rude things you get yourself in trouble.

Say what you want, if you feel like insulting everyone perhaps the Army can teach you a few things about behavior... They ARE my police, they need to maintain order and it is a little hard to maintain with people insulting each other over and over. Anger gets out of control, and people get hurt. That is why the guardsmen are there, to keep people safe even if it means beating a few of the rowdy ones.

How is free speech treated in your nation?

In All Nations via the Quadruple Alliance Treaty:
-Insulting the Crustonian Ideology is Illegal.

By Quadrant Kingdom
Midgardia:
-Free Speech is held, but questioning the king's "majikal powers" is frowned upon.

Crustonia:
-Insulting the Ideology is a crime.
-Counterideological speech is a crime.

Totambu:
-Absolute Free Speech

Bryheath:
-Free Speech is held dear, and is something that is promoted throughout the land. However, people who say things that the Bryheathen government disagrees with tend to disappear mysteriously.

Free speech is recognized as being granted by a higher authority than government. You may say anything you like.
My population in MT and PMT will normally be capped at around eighty to eighty-five million, unless I state otherwise.

Free speech is respected in Hippostania, and all viewpoints are respected and tolerated as long as you're not a leftist, since we do not accept false viewpoints.

Then we may safely say that free speech is not respected in Hippostania, as the only way it could be is if all speech were respected.

Our Nation has free speech,
It's not that you're free to say anything you want / because you think it's funny.

But we won't charge you money for saying it.
Unless it's slander; liable, or a significant and malicious lie.
In which case your pocket book will suffer!

Inappropriate speech directed towards the current leader could result in minor, or severe punishment (pending if our leader even cares to penalize that person, or people).

Say what you like, but if you feel like saying racist things and being a jerk all the time, expect to be shunned by your peers as something less.

Most things can be said. Typical offensive things can be said without no problem. If someone preaches about blowing up buildings or killing others then they are charged with hate speech. Freedom of the Press doesn't exist in Strifolpolis. Instead every news outlet whether it be on paper, TV or online must stick to the truth and nothing but with well researched sources included in the stories. Any news outlet that doesn't follow this rule must have a disclaimer on the front page at the top with font larger then any other within the paper saying it is a work of fiction and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Generally, the more references to freedom, democracy, and the people you see in the name of a state, the less it cares about freedom, democracy, or the rights of the people.

No no, the Koy People's Democratic Republic is correctly named. Everything the Government does is for the advancement of the Koy People. Glory to the Revolution! Long Live Comrade Ohanka!

The people of Mackleberria are free to think or say whatever they want to whoever they want. However, should one's opinions be completely nonsensical or hateful one should not be surprised to receive stern criticism and challenges to debates and arguments regularly.

Nonsense! Free speech only includes speech that is free, and as leftism is a dangerous oppressive ideology, free speech doesn't cover it.

...or at least that's what the Hippostanian government thinks.
