[Wind Flower]

Prostitution is not legal in the nation of Wind Flower as love should be a sacred bond and not used to make coin. We believe that by enacting in such sinful behaviors it would fill the air with malnurishment and bring bad fortune upon our village. Those who partake in such actions will undergo evaluation to determine the punishment they receive. The reputation of Wind Flower can not be tarnished by the few who would succumb to such measures of impurity.

[Britannia Maior]

Is prostitution legal in your nation?

Prostitution is legal albeit strongly regulated in the New Britannian State. Non-licensed or freelance prostitution is illegal, though the latter may be considered "self-employed" if they follow prostitution standards.

If it is, is it regulated in any way?

Yes. Individuals may only work as prostitutes under the employment of licensed brothels held to high standards of health and safety, and in compliance with worker’s rights and identification laws. Migrants without a work visa may not work for brothels, neither may underaged persons, the mentally challenged or those infected with STDs. Freelance prostitutes are able to work on their own provided they abide by the same standards of health and safety. Prostitutes, employed or self-employed, must visit a medical professional every fortnight for medical checks and screening for any STDs. Both brothels and self-employed prostitutes must submit average earnings like any other business or self-employed individual. Brothels are also required to keep logs of customers and employees to ensure none are being taken advantage of or spreading infections. Self-employed prostitutes must do the same.

If it is not legal, what does your nation do to the citizens that commit the crime?

Brothels that do not abide by regulations and guidelines are shut down and the establishment investigated. Self-employed prostitutes who do not maintain standards are put on probation and enrolled into rehabilitation, as are formerly employed prostitutes.

What is the government's stance on the issue?

The government maintains silence on prostitution, only speaking of it in legal terms and on occasion in regards to personal freedoms or market freedoms.

What are your citizens‘s thoughts on the issue?

The majority of citizens keep tight lipped about it, some openly disagreeing with its legal status whilst others are open and proud prostitutes. Some individuals in the traditional upper class have begun taking up the title or profession of hetairai, highly educated and sophisticated prostitutes who also serve as friendly companions, philosophers and cultural icons. The emerging romanticism of Ancient Rome and Greece has potentially aided the "sophistication" of the world’s oldest profession. Amongst the middle and lower classes there’s varying degrees of opposition and support, with support stemming mostly from the educated urban population and opposition from rural, religious and conservative individuals.

Are there any major groups (religions, businesses, political parties, ect) that support it?

Many pagan, new age, liberal Christian and irreligious groups and organisations support the legal status of prostitution. There is also support from many feminist groups. The growing community of Greco-Roman admirers, imitators and Greco-Romance pagans are largely supportive of prostitution so long it remains sensibly on the sidelines and kept professional. Despite this the most vocal or visible of its supporters paint it as a highly classed, sophisticated profession as a whole and have been pushing for laws to mandate that prostitutes become more hetaira than pornai, which some interpret as a subtle attack on the lower class and its perceived thuggishness.

Are there any major groups (religions, businesses, political parties, ect) that do not support it?

The majority of Abrahamists (Christians, Muslims, Jews) oppose the legal status of prostitution, considering it sinful and a stain upon the nation. There is a notable amount of opposition from some feminist and international groups, believing that prostitution endangers and objectifies women.

Is it important to the economy in any way?

Prostitution is not an integral sector of the Britannian economy, though the country is becoming increasingly known for sex tourism. HM Government has responded to the influx of sex tourists by placing signs, giving out pamphlets and releasing audio-video advisories aimed at foreigners from America, Asia and the Middle East, giving information on the law and expected conduct when engaging with legal prostitution.

Anything else?

Despite the government’s best efforts there remains an issue with illegal brothels and prostitution, almost always involving young foreign women trafficked into the country and held captive by criminals for use as money making schemes. The police have intensified efforts in cracking down on illegal prostitution in recent years.

[Purpelia]

Is Prostitution Legal in your Nation? Hell yes. Legal and considered a respectable and lucrative profession at that. As a tourist guide from the early 20th century put it "In Purpelia you'll find as many brothels as you will inns."
If it is, is it regulated in any way? Of course. Sex workers are regulated by the regular work laws as either self employed or employees of an institution.

Anything Else? Purpelians in general consider prostitution to be just another job. So much so that it's common to have people do it when ever they need a quick buck. Especially young people. Especially those you foreigners would consider children. Apparently there is a newer ending stream of gullible foreign tourists with cash to burn that our children can rip off for 5 minutes of work.
