Basically the same as these guys, except we promote international entertainment as well as domestic.

It was totally free until Reuters decided to publish some of our ICBM locations, now classified information is better protected and news agencies violating it are sanctioned or censored. Otherwise it is free.

"We will not allow our people and culture to be polluted with media created by our cultural and racial inferiors"

we have no regation or sensor the media few exsapction for snuff and miltary secrets

It is very popular and unfiltered, despite the fact most people think the U.S. is evil and wants to take over the world.

Media of all kinds is utterly unrestricted here. We often have cases of people who go out and broadcast illegally to countries with media bans and restrictions.

All media is completely unrestricted. We actually find western media somewhat tame.

Western Media? Are we talking about the Muslims of the Western Desert?

If your talking about this type of Media, you probably mean here and Eastern Media.

Yes, we accept Valterian media and such here.

Slightly filtered. Many Western values are disgusting and corrupt and we cannot stand for such disgusting things. However, the media can be dubbed and censored in certain areas to prevent ideas like homosexuality or absent minded "progressive" ideas of education or family corrupt our society. There's no reason to ban it outright, especially in this age where anyone can turn on their Tesla Beacon and pick up signals from around the world.

Any forms of communist propaganda, which is most of western tv today, is banned.

We are the "Western" media, so we don't censor ourselves.

Not that we would censor media like that anyway.

The Federation of Free Republics do not practice censorship, as censorship is prohibited by our Constitution. Western media is commonly available in the Federation, but much of it is considered overly anti-capitalistic or simply of poor quality. If something is considered to be anti-capitalistic propaganda, it lacks mainstream appeal in the Federation.

As far as we're aware, the "United States" has become fragmented into dozens of small nations. We have few significant relations with any of them. The western part of Fatatatutti is sparsely populated because typhoons tend to come from that direction. There are no media outlets situated there.

As for foreign media in general, we have no restrictions. People are free to access what they want via satellite, the Internet, etc.

Banned totally like all foreign media.

Slightly filtered to no filtration at all.

The Socialist Republic of Andrew nation is located in the far east, and are not huge fans of western media, in fact, we have a closed borders policy to most of the world.
So western media in the SRA is mostly banned with a few exceptions, due to we still like some western music, like country and rock, etc, but anything else that isn't music is banned from the SRA, especially any western government and news channels, or any commercials that criticizes or insults our leader, nation, government, military, or anything else that may influence our people to get into bad habits.

OOC: In RL, I have no problem with the West, in fact I live in America, but ICly, my nation isn't too fond of the west.

Still open to the public

Western media in Krumolia is completely free and unrestricted.

Since most western nations are now colonies of good nations, we no longer restrict western media. Except that media is from American terrorists, of course.

Western media isn’t really favored in Xeloncaresia for various reasons, including the fact that the west supports things that Xeloncaresians find meritless or counterfeit( egocentrism, superficiality, etc), as well as Western media’s tendency to portray poor stereotypes. Also, the idea of media being used solely for entertainment purposes doesn’t really exist in Xeloncaresia. Media in Xeloncaresia is required to make a person think, theorize, learn, or/and be challenged. Though entertainment is present, it’s not vapid like a lot of the media in the western world. Due to this, few Western films reach Xeloncaresia.

Some of it is censored

Media originating from most of the world, including the cultural West, is entirely banned within the Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan. The ASR would be failing in its duties if it did not shield its people-masses from the poisonous, capitalist lies of such foreign imperialist institutions. If one were to be caught with any items of western media (newspapers, films, etc.) they can expect harsh punishment, up to execution if they are found to have been spreading such filth amongst the population.

No regulation

Western media is completely banned in Engornia. Engornia has state controlled media and television
