Are typewriters still widely used in your nation?
Yes, in prison where inmates are not allowed access to computers.

What kind are they (manual, electric, electronic)?
Electronic. It is really crippled computers where all they can do is save documents to a 5 1/4" floppy and print the document using a special dot-matrix printer. A special piece of code is provided to allow them to autoprint parts of court forms.

What are some famous typewriter brands?
The only type manufactured is the Moronist Department of Justice System.

Are typewriters still widely used in your nation? No, typewriters have been abolished from private use in 1986 after the late dictator Dominico Rivento enforced a law stating the typewriter to be a 'decadent and old-fashioned' object and would be 'destructive if placed in wrong hands', after the Typewriter Coup was performed in an attempt to overthrow the regime through posters (which were made through typewriters). The typewriter was removed from state sectors in 1990 after state-owned computers were provided as a replacement.

What kind are they (manual, electric, electronic)? Usually manual.

What are some famous typewriter brands? Only the locally-produced Imperial Eagle typewriters are popular in Emperyo.

What are some famous typewriter brands? The most popular line is probably the one produced by Drosselmeyer Fabrications, but really they're all functionally the same.

Are typewriters still widely used in your nation?
Typewriters are very common in Killowan on both a domestic and commercial/business level, as they provide a quick and easy way of producing letters and documents in a place where the power to run a computer is not always guaranteed.

What kind are they (manual, electric, electronic)?
Manual, as for the above stated reason.

What are some famous typewriter brands?
While not particularly famous per say, there is one typrewriter manufacturer operating in Killowan, under the name Millner. Most machines are imported however.
