Currently, Lagunia does not censor websites. However, the Federal Security Board (BSF) do closely monitor websites that. . .

-are pornographic (especially child pornography, bestiality, snuff, etc.) or otherwise extremely offensive in nature
-pose a "clear and present" threat to the Lagunian republic or to its democratic institutions (like terrorist groups)
-incite any criminal activities (like drug trafficking websites)
-incite hate or are extremist

Hi, Earth! I'm Rimarua from the Hazameian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I'll be handling this account now for Hazamaeia replacing Vice-Minister Ranuwavimranure so he can focus more on his higher duty in the ministry.

I also play badminton and will represent my nation in the next Olympic. At that time, I'll be most likely replaced by my roommate here, Arina. She works at the grocery store next to our apartment.

Why are you saying bad things about me, Rima? I am an author and I own that grocery store!
Oh look! She won the gold medal. Now I should stand her bragging about it.

This is still my eyes though.

The Internet is protected by it's own little 'Bill of Rights,' guaranteeing neutrality and 100% freedom from censorship.
Websites are closed down when they have been proven in a court to have broken the law, just like any other business, otherwise anything goes.

In the Magisanctan Empire, websites are promised protection from shutting down unless it's found to have broken the law, heavily influence unlawful acts or cause extreme offense. The latter reason is often grounds for many appeals cases.

While lacking censorship, there are several websites that New Terricon watches for people to go to, such as websites operated by known terrorists. The New Terricon Security Agency traces the IP of said user, and if a terror attack occurs, those groups of people are the first to be apprehended and questioned. We do not block the websites however as we figure that would be the start of a very ugly censorship regime. Websites are closed down when they have broken the law if they are Terricon based, otherwise they become monitored by the NTSA.

In Gkalgacxia there is moderate censorship. We block any site that contains violence, rape, child abuse and politically dangerous sites (stormfront.com for example).
The name of the country is pronounced [ɢaɭ ɡɐ kʃia], Or, if you're not familiar with the IPA system, "Galgaetia" or "Galgacia".

Is there internet censorship in your country?
There is no actual censorship, However the Imperial Civilian Security Division (ICSD) Monitors several websites that contain:

-Pornography (Especially child pornography, Otherwise generally offensive material)
-Anti-Government groups (Basically anyone that threatens our security, Otherwise terrorist groups i.e Manguardia)
-Criminal Websites (Essentially Drug trafficking websites)
-Extremist or Violent hat

The Internet is the backbone of our economy in Norilova. Even currency is purely digital in our country. Censoring the Internet would wreck our economy, so we have no restrictions on the Internet, even if some decadent capitalist sites pop up. Even piracy is perfectly legal in Norilova.
