[Juvencus]

Does your nation's constitution protect freedom of speech?: It does, to the longest extent. However, there's a clause to that stating that if a large part of the population gets affected by a spree mental disorders, every type of gore in particular is censored and banned.
Does your nation's government respect its citizens freedom of speech?: It does, to the longest extent, either by fear the people are too strong, or by actually genuinely respecting the citizens' freedom of speech.
Are there any limitations on freedom of speech?: Only should that clause be accepted to be put into effect, will there ever be limitations on freedom of speech.
Are citizens allowed to criticize the government and voice their opinions freely without fear of government retribution?: Absolutely, but the population generally doesn't do that because they're at least generally happy from the current government.

Does your nation's government respect its citizens freedom of speech? In general.
Are there any limitations on freedom of speech? Restrictions on speech in Radictistan are based largely on who is speaking rather than what is being said. For instance, "military expression" is regulated much more tightly than just about any other liberal democratic democracy with persons in the various security agencies being purged for making statements that any other government would consider perfectly innocuous. As an OOC aside, Starship Troopers could never, ever, ever, be published in Radictistan.

Are there any limitations on freedom of speech? Somewhat; Hate speech, defamation, and 'vehemency' among others are all considered illegal both online and in public and will face a minor fine; though if a major incident (i.e. use of a racist slur or use of inappropriate language in the presence of children, elderly, or respected individuals, etc.) you may face some jail time and/or a hefty fine. If such speech is used in a private area, however, the individual is at the mercy of their peers and what they rule. If the hateful speech is reported in this private space by the owner or legally defined 'leader' of the space, the offender will be charged as if it were public.
Are citizens allowed to criticize the government and voice their opinions freely without fear of government retribution? Yes, so long as it steers clear of the legal definition of hate speech.

1. Spread foreign propaganda.
2. Proselytize a foreign faith.
3. Call for the overthrow, violent or otherwise, of the government.
4. Call for physical harm to any of the higher nobility.
And a few other things all in that vein. And even if you do any of these you won't really get into trouble unless you are persistent and very public about it. It really does take deliberate effort to reach that point.
Are citizens allowed to criticize the government and voice their opinions freely without fear of government retribution? Totally. As long as it's done in a civil and polite manner and you don't call for the overthrow of the government. In fact, when it comes to local officials the dukes will be and historically have been more than happy to take such complaints into account and even replace said officials if they are unpopular.

Does it not make far more sense to lull your dissidents into a false sense of security by allowing them to speak and even gather against the government which doubles as a good way for them to reveal them self as traitors so that they can be disposed of later on other charges? Like say getting sent on a particularly dangerous raid that just so happens to have very bad Intel or being shot by a vigilante that supports your government etc.
