[Nixon-Paiute]

Flag ownership is not widespread enough to warrant a law on burning them.

There is one flag displayed publically in the town center, the original flag, and if that was burnt whoever did so would likely be exiled to the wastes and have their citizenship revoked. If someone wanted to burn their own copy of the flag in protest though, that would merely be frowned upon.

The burning of foreign flags, such as that of the NCR, would be inconsequential. A cavet to that would perhaps be the burning of the old US, Nevada, or other pre-war flags, as some would consider that akin to destroying historical artefacts.

[Baloo Kingdom]

Burning my flag is burning the glorious face of Baloo so it is strictly prohibited.

[Tsarstvo Alyaski]

Whilst the burning of the national flag of Tsarstvo Alyaski is not specifically illegal, it is highly discouraged. Patriotism is a way of life for many in the nation, so the burning of the flag is going to leave you shunned, or discriminated against by the community. This includes the workforce, if someone is known to perform Anti - Patriotic actions, they will be less likely to be employed, and so on.

The only way to change this outlook is through governmental effect, but unless the KPA (Conservative party of Alaska) were to be voted out of office, this won't happen.

[Kingdom of Neotopia]

[Lancov]

Burning the flag in and of itself is legal as an act of protest. Other circumstances may be illegal, tearing down a flag from a government building and burning it would be vandalism and setting something on fire in public without a permit is also against fire code in many places. The flag itself as an object receives no special legal protection. Go right ahead and burn it, Lancov will still be here afterward.

[Ru-]

Ru had laws prohibiting the burning of the Ruvian flag in 50 of the 52 provinces, before they were struck down by the Ruvian Supreme Court in a controversial 5-4 decision, which ruled that the burning of the Ruvian Flag in the case before them was symbolic political expression, and therefore, constitutionally protected speech. The case caused the court to break along surprisingly different lines then what one would expect, with a mix of "conservative" and "liberal" justices on both sides of the decision.

In response to this case, all the other provincial flag burning laws had to be stricken, but the Imperial Senate decided to pass a national law against flag burning soon after, this however was also struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court by the exact same margin. stating that it is a fundamental principal of the constitution that the government does not have the power to prohibit the expression of an idea for the sole reason that Ruvian society finds the idea unacceptable.

There have been calls from the Ruvian Traditional Conservative Party to pass an amendment to our constitution that would prohibit the burning or desecration of the Ruvian flag, but as passing amendments to the constitution is very difficult and requires an extremely broad consensus among multiple branches of national and local government, these attempts have so far been unsuccessful.

As of now, it is considered absolutely unacceptable behavior by the great majority of the Ruvian public. However, it is by itself a perfectly legal act.

[Katas]

Burning the flag is not illegal in Katas, it's also not illegal to (assuming the particular instance of the flag in question belongs to you or you have permission form the legal owner):

• Wear the flag as a cape
• Sacrifice the flag to Satan
• Use the flag as a napkin
• Turn the flag into clothing
• Many other things not listed here

However, there are hefty fines for people burning things in public spaces throughout most of the country, because most of the country is an enclosed space and smoke inhalation is dangerous

[Menschlicher Sternenstaat]

Status of Flag Burning in the Human Star State

---

The act of flag burning within the Human Star State is either legal or illegal dependent upon the context and subject of the flag burning itself. For example, as codified by Staat law since the country's inception over seven hundred years ago, the act of "violating or vandalizing the iconography of the Human Star State and its constituencies" was deemed illegal. The punishment for committing such a crime of burning the national flag was unanimously decreed to be imprisonment on the grounds of treason. Burning the flags of individual constituencies within the Sternenstaat also carried charges, but these specific charges varied from subject constituency to subject constituency.

However, burning the flags of any and all polities apart from the Sternenstaat is entirely legal - during declarations and victories of war, the iconographies of enemy states are often encouraged to be burned in public display. The desecration of flags that belong to allied states of the Staat are also legal, but heavily discouraged given astropolitical tensions of the modern galaxy.
