[Gandoor]

Tips for visitors to Gandoor:
- Use the public transport system, it's very well funded and affordable
- Speaking one of the official languages (English, Japanese, Russian) is highly recommended. English is your best bet as virtually every sign and such in Gandoor is written in it.
- While prostitution is legal in Gandoor, it's regulated and only permitted in licensed brothels. So keep that in mind, if you're into that stuff.
- Similarly, while cannabis use, tobacco use, and alcohol use are all legal, their usage is generally frowned upon while in public
- Don't bring guns to Gandoor, gun ownership is highly regulated and restricted.
- We are a very friendly and kind people, if you ever need help, just ask someone, we're glad to help.
- Make sure you follow all laws while in Gandoor. However, our police are lenient and will more than likely let you go after a warning.
- We're a very cultured nation, visit a museum, or the former palace of the monarchy, or a festival while you're here
- We're very LGBT-friendly and have basically no taboo when it comes to dressing as the opposite gender. So if you don't like LGBT or men dressed as women or women dressed as men, you might want to not visit.
- Don't be surprised if you see people dressed as a fictional character while your here. Cosplaying is fairly popular in Gandoor.
- Most importantly: enjoy yourself and have fun.

[Saurisisia]

I. Don't act too surprised upon finding out about the true nature of Saurisia, the natives would be offended if you do that.
II. Don't ask questions regarding the anatomical nature of most reptilian females, the natives are so tired of explaining the answer to a question that they themselves don't fully understand that they are likely to react with rolled eyes and grunts of irritation.
III. When visiting a Native's home, it is customary to remove your shoes since most Native races only wear footwear in combat and certain other occasions.
IV. It is best not to talk about most political topics in public or to question the liberal weapons or economics policies.
V. Do not assume the local Gods are not real, for they are very eager to prove that fact to ignorant Outsiders.

[Tevego]

Do not wear any pro-communist, pro-Nazi, or other pro-totalitarian apparel. You WILL be lynched on the spot, and the police will do nothing to help you.

Do not criticize the government in any way. You will be deported.

[Sebastianbourg]

Follow the rules and enjoy your stay. Ah! Don't overstay your welcome 'cuz that's illegal.

[United Earthlings]

When Visiting the Commonwealth Kingdom

*Plan your trip in advance and carefully given the wide dispersion of area the Commonwealth inhabits.
*As a Civil Rights Lovefest, the Commonwealth tends to be a lot more open {publicly} about issues then other citizens may be use to. This can include, but not limited to Nudity {Sex}, Violence, Drug Use, prostitution {brothels}, Guns and others some individuals might not feel comfortable about seeing or discussing in public.
*The Commonwealth public {including local businesses} generally doesn't deal with coin/paper currency anymore having switched over to a digitized currency economy. Getting a Pre-Paid debit or credit card in the local Curo currency is advisable before either arriving in the Commonwealth or not long after {for example these cards can be obtained at all international airports which also allows currency exchange}. If not, paying for things will prove next to impossible.
*Subset of planning your trip in advance: With millions of sq kms of territory, the Commonwealth has many unique sights to see with everything from glorious snow capped mountain ranges to exotic beaches with clear blue water to jungles and everything in between. Depending on the specific season and your specific interest, picking the right destination is the key to having a great experience in the Commonwealth.
*As a huge melting pot with what many have described as lax immigration laws, the Commonwealth has many minority groups that have basically established their own mini-regions similar to their nations of origin. Unless, you are of this minority group we would advise all visitors to avoid those areas unless of course you can speak either their native language or that of Latish, the official language of the Commonwealth.
*Above all, the Commonwealth is an entirely different culture and would recommend a little research beforehand as prudent to possibly avoid any misunderstandings.
*Enjoy your stay and do visit us again.

[The New Age Empire]

Supreme Fuhrer Mael Radec: "Do not under any circumstance, bring weapons, bring your culture, bring your religion, bring enemies of the state, bring enemies of any member of the government, do not bring anything considered illegal, do not criticize the government ideology and way of working, do not in any way say anything bad about any political figures in the government body, and finally do not come here if you are not prepared to 100% adopt our culture, race, and way of living, you are not allowed to breed with any race other than the Helghan race so your race shall eventually be absorbed completely, once this has happened eventually your lineage and family will be assimilated into our race, once you come here you can not leave. These are only some of the basic rules to follow, there are many others, anyone who even attempts to come here must memorize answers to a quiz, we only accept people under certain circumstances and therefore it is rare to see any immigration at all."

[United States of The One Percent]

Bring money. Lots of it.

[Allancia]

From the State Governing Sector's handbook for international tourists:
(All rules are compulsory)

1. When entering the nation, have all immigration papers on hand. Not having your proper documents directly on hand can result in immediate denial of entry.
2. It is suggested to check into a hotel prior to entering the country.
3. Dress in wool and long sleeved clothing, as winter is usually pretty harsh inside Allancia.
4. If you feel threatened by an Allancian citizen, please report them to a Political Police office. The harassment of foreign individuals by natives is strictly prohibited.
5. Be respectful of Allancian customs.
6. Do not apply for any and all economic or labor contracts without first procuring a work pass.
7. Your visit here is a privilege. Be kind to Allancian citizens and other natives. Failure to do so could result in incarceration.
8. Enjoy your stay.

[Stormaen]

Keep left! Stormaen drives on the left and many international travellers only realise for the first time when they're hiring a car. Also, in Stormaen, sidelights are required to be on at all times, even in summer (similar to Scandinavian cars). Older cars often do not have sidelights automatically switch on as the engine starts so be aware.

Finally some simple etiquette: Stormaeners often greet complete strangers with a cheery, "Good morning!" or the less formal, "Alright?" or "Aalreet!" (that's a rhetorical question, answer it with, "Alright!" or a nod). It's not uncommon on a brisk walk to work down a local high street to hear constant flurries of "Good morning!" or "Alright?".

[Ganos Lao]

When visiting the Dual Monarchy of Ganosia-Veceria:

1. Always remember to convert your currency to ours, the Tzdal. It also helps in purchases and bailing buddies out of the joint if you can speak Ganosian or Vecerian. We do have interpreters, though.
2. Don't try to get new members for your cult. Doing so will usually end in you being arrested and put on trial for conspiracy to overthrow the government. Or some citizens may try to kick your ass, or even kill you.
3. If your wife, girlfriend, fiancee, sister, cousin, or friend are attractive, they'll be hit on by the sister of the Empress, Princess Lilith, who will no doubt attempt to seduce them and add them to her harem. We aren't responsible for any failed marriages/engagements.
4. If you're a fundamentalist, expect to be laughed at, but be very mindful of rule 2. We have no love for you bastards here.
5. Prostitution is perfectly legal, but be mindful of the regulations. If you're here to pick up the underage girls who sadly get trafficked, we have a seat for you over there. Fret not, for Bubba will take great care of his new bunkmate.
6. We're very LGBT-friendly. Take that as you will. Euthanasia, abortion and the like are also all legal here.
7. We have a good amount of non-humans. Take that as you will too (OOC: This only applies to certain nations).
8. The Empress will no doubt notice you if you're a fashion designer. Expect to be asked to present your styles and tastes at the Imperial Court if you're a big name.
9. Don't be offended too much if you hear one of the speeches of the Chancellor Princess. As the country's foremost militant nihilist, it's her thing.
10. Feel free to wear your hijabs and other religious attire, but don't get offended if you find yourself surrounded by a rather secular (and militantly so - we're damn proud of it!) society.
11. If you're a politicial sort, do read Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, as it's the book our country is based upon ideologically.
12. Don't fuck with the Killbourne family. This is very important. Please do not try to steal from the Killbournes, vandalize their property, or do anything else that may result in the hounds being let loose....and worse.
13. We are a pagan majority nation. Don't be inconsiderate if you're Christian, etc. Feel free to preach, but within what we allow you to preach. Also, don't grope the shrinemaidens.
14. Telegram me with questions! I am always open to telegrams!

If you're an attractive male or female, please expect catcalls or surprise groping or fondling.

Not if Princess Lilith gropes/fondles you first.

[Costa Fierro]

Be aware of:

• Corrupt Police Officers: Less of an issue outside the city, but do watch out for police who might expect "charity" for services if approached or if you have violated the law in some way. It's best to pay and report it to the police soon afterwards.
• Dangerous snakes: Costa Fiero is home to a number of species of snakes, among which are two species of pit viper, one species of venomous coral snake as well as several species of boa constrictors and the anaconda. The two pit viper species and the coral snake are the most dangerous as all carry neurotoxins which are fatal and even result in necrosis in the case of the venom found in the pit vipers. Be vigilant when walking on hiking trails in tropical areas in the northern half of Costa Fiero and in the Amazonian region. If bitten, seek medical treatment immediately or visit a hospital to request purchase of anti-venom. Boas are less dangerous as they are not venomous but can produce horrific wounds which can become infected. Again, if bitten, seek medical treatment immediately.
• Dangerous arachnids: Of the thousands of species to watch out for, the Brazilian wandering spider and the bark scorpion are the most venomous. Avoid contact with these and if bitten, seek medical treatment. Tarantulas are also present but are no worse than bee stings although urticating hairs can become lodges in nasal and oral cavities, so avoid handling them also.
• Dangerous insects: Costa Fiero is home to fire ants, Africanized bees and mosquitoes. All of these are present in Costa Fiero so caution and avoidance of contact is strictly advised. With mosquitoes, it is recommended that anti-malaria vaccinations and pills should be brought along with vaccinations for other diseases carried by them.
• Dangerous animals: In Costa Fiero, one can find animals such as crocodiles, caimans, jaguars and cougars. American crocodiles are the largest present in Costa Fiero and can be dangerous to humans. They are found in the west of the country, especially in tropical waters. Black caimans are found in freshwater waterways of the Amazonian region and are also dangerous. Cougars and jaguars are also found in the east and are also dangerous.
• Always have a guide when visiting the jungle: If visiting areas that are "off the beaten track", it's best to have a local guide, especially if you are venturing into land that is owned by native Indians. Guides will show you the proper conduct in Indian villages and how to avoid being stung, bitten and eaten by the myriad of creatures inhabiting more remote areas. It will also avoid you getting off to a bad start with the hosts, which is always nice.
• Take care when driving: Driving between cities in Costa Fiero has become easier thanks to billions of dollars of investment in road infrastructure within the last two decades and many roads are paved and are of good quality. However, not all roads have been upgraded to the same extent and so try to ask the hotel or a local if the road ahead is good. ¿Carretera bueno? is usually a good start for those who aren't familiar with Spanish and will usually be met with a si or no or even peligroso, which means "dangerous". Watch out for other drivers as they are aggressive and often drive recklessly.
• Bus transport: This is a specific mention as buses are the most prolific mode of transport in Costa Fiero. Bus transport is very cheap but is often operated by independent drivers, usually in the form of a collectivo. These are brightly painted and decorated buses and are highly unsafe, as a number are driven fast and recklessly. Always travel by a registered bus company when going by bus.
• Language: Spanish is the most widely spoken language in Costa Fiero. It is recommended to be familiar with some basic phrases in Spanish, as "hello", "goodbye" and "my hovercraft is full of eels" will not really suffice. A good number of people will understand foreign languages such as English or Portuguese but many people in the interior do not.
  
  Take note of the above and enjoy yourself.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

On the custom duties form handed out to incoming visitors, there is a detachable leaflet containing advice to tourists with a variation of the following information.

• Do not hug the teddy bears. Yes, we are cute and fuzzy, and we are generally a very nice and understanding people, but bear in mind that we are sapient beings with work to do and places to go, so garner permission first. Criminal charges have been laid in the past in extreme cases. Exceptions may be granted to small children.
• We are a Laltofian nation. That means you'll be encountering a very diverse population of many different species, some of whom (such as large, sapient spiders) may trigger your phobia. Smelling salts are advised for the faint of heart. Luckily, no offense is generally taken.
• Remember which province you're driving in. Apart from one way streets, the provinces of Toylando and Grenatia drive on the left, everywhere else (including the Overseas Territories) drives on the right. This is a relic of the pre-Federation days, when each individual bear nation developed their own laws of the road independently.
• Be aware of civil defense procedures. We border a few ... independently minded nations, so we still maintain a civil defense network. Please read the issued guidelines and familiarize yourselves with the warning system and related actions. Don't get in the way of National Home Guard during an emergency. Ask first to take pictures of any military hardware stationed on the roadside. Do not step across the border between the TBRE and another country without clearing their immigration and customs.
• Follow relevant laws. We don't tend to carry firearms, the usage of magic is generally prohibited (we're not a Fantasy nation, but the legislature had the foresight to pass legislation in advance), and don't bring Future Tech stuff (post-2020s, Earth Common Era) (See FanT statement, though this was an international treaty rather than local legislation).

[Neu-Pommern]

Keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. Do not eat anything the indigenous people offer you. Wear sunscreen, only drink the tapwater in the Wilhelmsland state.

[Tolmakia]

1) Respect Tolmakian law and customs.
2) Be kind and respectful to the locals.
3) Try not to bring in politics when talking to Tolmakians in the northern province. For some reason, they despise it while those in the mainland will practically "love" you if you start debating with them politically (and civilly, of course).
4) If you're allergic to shrimp, then be wary. Tolmakia has many shrimp-based products.
5) If you want to visit the most peaceful part of the nation, go to Perthon in the northern province.

[An Islamic World]

• If you're female, you must wear a hijab at all times while in An Islamic World. (If you do not have one, one shall be provided for you) In addition, certain provinces of An Islamic World would be safer if a female wears either the niqab or hijab. (There are signs near the borders which mention thing)
• While the practice of religions other than Islam (specifically Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism) is allowed, any attempts to convert one from Islam will be punished by your immediate arrest and deportation back to your home country
• Please do not openly act homosexual/bisexual/transgender, as the same punishment for the above applies
• If you're looking for restaurants that serve things such as pork or alcoholic beverages, look for ones with lights that say "TOURIST" or "TOURISTS WELCOME". (That's not to say that one cannot visit ones that do not have that sign, but those are ones which serve food which is non-halal)
• Please respect all people in our nation and we shall do the same for you.

[National Socialist Korea]

Cubes cars are very useful for tourists, as they display popular attractions and destinations.

[Lalaki]

All we ask is that visitors have fun, explore, mingle with the citizens, and love the culture. The rest is up to the tourists! We have very free travel here.

[Imyoji]

• Politics is a no no
• Go to raves and high end restaurants alike
• Do not litter
• Smoke in the designated areas if you do smoke
• Do try to stay sober, if not, drink as little as possible
• Have fun!

[El Eleutheria]

A famous piece of graffiti above the gateway off of Municipal Passenger Dock #09 in Puerte Libre reads:

"Tom's Top Ten Tips to Tourists

1. Have money in case you get mugged, or you want to eat.
2. Wear a bulletproof vest, even when sleeping.
3. Don't insult any of the pirates.
4. Don't speak ill of any of the organised crime groups, at least not in public.
5. Do not trust free drugs, as drug dealers make money by SELLING their drugs, not giving them away.
6. If you hear gunshots in the distance getting closer, just hop behind cover and wait for it to blow by, it's probably just a car chase.
7. Our hospitals are expensive, so deposit a lot of money in the bank in case of injury.
8. Be sure to explore our cities and countryside, if you avoid the dangerous people, there is a lot of cool stuff to see.
9. If you get mugged, just fork over your cash, or drugs, muggers aren't smart but they will kill you if you pull any funny stuff.
10. Be nice, everbody likes nice people. Help people. Hell knows we need more helpful people."

These days, that's painted all over the country, specifically in spots where visitors can easily see it, like in airports and ferry terminals.
