There is some whaling, but we’ve learned to make lubricants and fuel from the adipose of other animals.

Whaling is illegal in Low State. If you are found to be whaling, selling it or purchasing, there is a P10,000 fine plus up to 10 years of jail time. There are border inspectors at the ports to inspect ships that come in.
The currency is the Low State Dollar: $1.00 LS: $1.0457 USD

being a land locked nation, or nearly so, the legal status of whaling is somewhat absurd. or more accurately. it has none. to put it more bluntly, the large sea-sized lake, one very narrow corner of our country abuts, is not home to large cetaceans or other aquatic mammals of extreme proportions.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

It's not illegal, but few people have the patience or time to harvest something the size of a whale. However we are an island nation with generous gun-ownership laws, and migrating whales are often targets. Considering the size and what some whales regularly hunt for food, it's doubtful even a .50 caliber rifle would do more than make one flinch.

We really couldn't give a damn about the environment, the only protected species is the non-sentient version of the Anthropomorphic Dragon.
So it's legal, but it's pointless and not profitable so we don't know why you would.

We don't have any regulations on whaling... But we don't have any whales in our teritorial waters.

Whaling is legal although not an important or really relevant industry. You are restricted to 15 whales a year.

It's legal to hunt whales in Dretnia but you have to get a permit just like hunting/fishing any other animal with a few exceptions.

Whaling is legal in Mallaska, to some species. There are heavy regulation on Whalers, and the Mallaskan Nautical Guard enforces whaling such as a Game Warden would game hunting. Like several nations a permit is required, and regular inspections are done.

Disrespect of maritime law does not help your cause. Bereian whalers often carry guns, and attacking them is legitimate cause for reprisals.

Her Majesty's Albion Rhodesian Government will not tolerate international vigilantism and any act of aggression against vessels carrying Dominion colors, shall be constituted as an act of hostility.

Furthermore the nation of Vazdania is hereby warned, that if she continues such an aggressive policy, that Her Majesty's Government shall pas a declaration under the authority of the Dominion Parliament to authorize the use of force against Vazdania.

If it come to that, Her Majesty's Government has only to ask for support. Privateers against the shipping of an enemy is one thing, but this? This is nothing but rampant piracy against legitimate businessmen.

For the Vazdanians...

Attacks on Bereian-flagged vessels operating lawfully in international waters shall be regarded by this Governmen as an act of war, and shall be grounds for a most severe round of reprisals. We are kind people, but you would be wise not to try our generosity. You have been warned.
