On the Legality of Bloodsport

[Berryblast]

Bloodsport is very popular and mostly unregulated in our country. Cockfights, Dogfights, and Gladiatorial Arena fights for entertainment and gambling are common. Our people see no reason to treat animals as anything other than property, especially lower order animals such as birds. Our gladiators are permitted or even encouraged to use performance enhancing drugs such as steroids, stimulants and painkillers. We are looking to see some different views on bloodsport from other nations.

[Radiatia]

On a federal level there have been a number of unsuccessful attempts to ban or regulate blood sports, however ultimately it has become a matter for decision by the states.

The majority of states have now banned blood sports, however some such as those in the central and northern Radiatian Federation continue to allow them to go ahead or even be filmed for television. Notable examples include "Radiatian Football" (in which players beat each other to death), "Fatton Stilts" (in which players... beat each other to death) and the controversial game show "Sing to Save Your Life" in which losing contestants are eliminated permanently.

[Fatatatutti]

We are looking to see some different views on bloodsport from other nations.

Fatatatutian society as a whole views bloodsport as thoroughly uncivilized. There is no more need to regulate it than there is to regulate gouging out one's own eyes with a teaspoon. There is about the same level of demand.

[Millorg]

[Kaledor]

Bloodsport is legal in Kaledor, but genereally doesn't result in many combatants being fatally wounded

[Reichsland]

Human bloodsport is government funded in Reichsland. Every prison has an arena, where inmates who are serving life sentences or on death row may fight to the death. Every combatant uses medieval weapons and armor. You can catch live matches on some local sports channels, or you can just buy tickets from your local ticketoffice.

[Auzkhia]

Bloodsport is legal.
However among Citizens, death matches are forbidden (unless it is a duel).

[Penguin Union Nation]

There are intense martial arts tournaments, but killing in them is forbidden.

[Saurisisia]

Perfectly legal, as we actually can stand to see a little blood shed. The most common blood sports are Gladiator games, Bear fighting, Cock fighting, Raptor fighting, and Dragon fighting. They are great ways to appease Walkeris, the God of War, with bloodshed. They're most commonly practiced in the outer territories, though.

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

Duels and gladiatoral combat is completely legal as long as all participants consent, non-sapient beings are not allowed.

[Herador]

It depends on the manner of sport and the participants involved. Heradorian law states that the only sports that can cause "death or grievous bodily harm" must meet two criteria. First, those participating must have agreed previously with full understanding that the event they will soon be competing in may cost them their lives (this takes the form of a signed legal document). Secondly, those participating must be able to give said consent i.e. an owner may not sign the form for their dog.

nothing better than 2 people ripping the other's heart out.

[TurtleShroom]

Cockfighting remains extremely popular in TurtleShroomer casinoes and in rural areas, where fortunes are bet and waged on who raises the best chicken. Legal cockfighting is heavilly regulated for the sake of the fighting chickens and a match ends at the drawing of first blood or after a designated number of rounds. A professional vetrinarian is the referee for each match.

When casinoes were legalized, cockfighting became one of the games permitted in casinoes. As with every gambling game, it is regulated by the Board of Gaming and Vice.

Here are the BGV's rules for cockfighting:

• Chickens may not die in a match, or the owner is disqualified for six months.
• A licensed poultry expert or avian vetrinarian, etc. serves as the match's moderator, referee, and spotter.
• Cockfighting can not last past three three-minute rounds without a break to feed, water, and bandage the chickens.
• The victor is declared by the expert after the agreed number of rounds. Scoring is based on the expert's observations of the skill and speed of each chicken and, at the end, who has strutted away with the least damage, or until the first draws blood.
• After each cockfighting match, the chickens that competed may not participate for two days, or otherwise until their wounds heal and they are deemed healthy enough to engage in fighting once more.
• No more than two chickens may fight in any given match.
• Chickens must be owned, raised, and trained by the players from hatching. They can not be purchased and placed in the ring. No exceptions.
• Chickens must be licensed for cockfighting by the Board of Gaming and Vice by passing a competency and training test to ensure the chicken is properly trained for the sport.
• Chickens in a cockfighting match must be in good health, well-fed, and hydrated. Failure to do so is a disqualification and a revocation of licensing.
• Anyone, foreign or TurtleShroomer, may raise a chicken for cockfighting, provided they obey these rules.
• Cockfighting is strictly prohibited on Sundays.
  
• These rules and regulations must be present and made visible in every cockfighting pit, and recited by the announcer at the start of each business day in the casino.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Bloodsports are illegal in the TBRE, and it is highly rare and not common throughout our history, even though we were a warrior society. However, softer versions that do not result in death are allowed and regulated. Bloodsports involving animals are strictly illegal, due to animal rights here.

[Namor]

Bloodsport, defined here as physical fighting to the death for payment, is illegal in Namor as per the Constitution.

[Kedri]

Totally legal with no resrictions

[Central and Eastern Visayas]

The legality of bloodsport varies between provinces. In provinces where bloodsport is legal, proceeds are subject to a vice tax that also varies per province. For example, the vice tax for cockfights in the Province of Cebu is 20%, while that in the Capital District is only 15%, the latter being the minimum Vice Tax under the Federal Tax Code.

[Jandaria]

It is illegal on a federal level.

[Riserland]

While gambling was recently made illegal, weekly bear fights are still a popular TV event. People killing people is strictly illegal but other than that there are no laws regarding bloodsport- it just isn't that popular.

[Wind in the Willows]

It's banned and anyone found participating is immediately arrested.

[Tasargeria]

Bloodsports are legal not only with animal combatants but between inmates as well. Why should not a murder or a member of a lower race be put to an arena for the amusement of the rest of the society if he or she has the affinity for killing?

[Olwe]

Bloodsports are legal only for sentient (human or human-intelligence) combatants who consent to it beforehand.

[Arkiasis]

Completely Illegal and strongly detested. We're not psychopaths unlike other nations who get entertainment from making other people and innocent animals suffer, get hurt, and die.

[Keduk]

Illegal and unpopular. Bloodsports are barbaric and have no place in our culture.

[Xekliv]

Bloodsports are perfectly legal as they have been since the creation of the empire. In fact, they're the most popular type of sport in Xekliv.

Our sports motto is, if there aren't any decapitations, it's not a sport!
