OOC: What sort of anti-piracy legislation exists in TS, and how is it enforced? I ask because I noticed the "Don't copy that floppy" on the TurtleTech page.

{ OOC: I don't think that's supposed to be OOC. There's a template for questions. }

{ OOC: TS is very lax about Internet piracy. They task the nation's only ISP (Slowsky ISP) and the Board of Censors to enforce it. As a rule, only the distributors are persecuted, not those who download pirated goods. The average Internet speed in TS is one megabyte per second, so Internet piracy isn't very efficient. Everything's still on a Zip Drive, floppy disk, or CD (if you splurge). }

Minister of Foreign Affairs Official Representative
RE: SKYHOOKED


Mister Kyle, thank you for your inquiry. TurtleShroom was recently at war against your nation in the Crusades. While Skyhooked is still under embargo- and has been sanctioned for a long time before that -Skyhookmen are allowed entery into TurtleShroom as of early October.

As is with TurtleShroomian law in most Parishes, you and the female compatriots coming with you will be segregated by biological sex in separate rooms. Otherwise, entering our great country will be no problem.

Understand, though, that TurtleShroom does not permit any hard drugs, though different Parishes may or may not accept tobacco, smoked opium, or combinations of the same. TurtleShroomian tourist authorities clearly post their laws at welcome centers.

What is there to do in TurtleShroom? Why, we are the ultimate family-friendly destination! For those on a shoestring budget, experience prices so low that your grocery stores look like haute cusine prices! Gas for a hay penny ($0.005)! Luxury resorts for a hunded fifty Skillets ($37.50)!

Or tray a more continental variety of Oriental food, with the deep and enriching culture of the great Tsao stratocracy of Comrade Commissar!
