Burning or otherwise intentionally damaging, disrespecting or defaming the national flag or other symbols is considered an act of dissent and is punishable by 2 years minimum in prison. If done en-masse or in a large public display, this sentence may increase or be classified as treason. This is not only illegal but also socially frowned upon as Sagreans are very patriotic and supportive of their nation.

Sorry, burning the flag is ILLEGAL and act that is considered "INSULT".Although Sarawak Darulhana guarantees the right to freedom of speech, burning the flag, burning the holy book and burning the portrait of the leader is not the way to solve the problems of the people or the state, the individual who burns the flag will also face imprisonment for 50 years if he is found guilty,although foreigner...

It is legal to burn the Undemocrian flag, all forms of dissent that do not cause damage to public or private property is permitted under Undemocrian law. It's not like we need to stop something that doesn't happen due to what our detractors would call "millennia of indoctrination".

Burning the Riograndene flag and the flags of any Riograndense city/town/village is illegal, as per law 982/1985. It is punishable with a fine and six months of community service.

Burning the islerumian flag is illegal. If you do it you would have to pay 1000‡ (400$) as a fine.

Minoa wrote:The burning or desecration of the Minoan flag is not a specific criminal offence: the reason is that such actions are not exclusive to racist or xenophobic movements. If someone burned a flag to intimidate certain groups of people, like Jews, that comes under laws against incitement to hatred.

Flag burning is a preferred method for disposing worn out flags, like what the United States does.

There is an update to the situation in Minoa, because recycling worn out flags along with old textiles is now the preferred method over burning. The burning or desecration of the Minoan flag remains legal.

Legal, though frowned upon my much of society. Commonly done during demonstrations by more provocative members of the Unity party, many of which support a return to the old ways of the military dictatorship.

In the Confederate States of Outcaltia,Papua New Guinea,Núñez Islands and Disneyia is illegal to burn the national flag and all the other flags except the Chinese's,the Cuban's,the North Korean's,the Russian's,the Belarusian's,the Pakistani's and the Taliban's.
In all the other Confederate States its legal to burn the national flag,but not all the other flags (except the flags i mentioned previously). The punishment can go from a fine of about 30 Sketches ($60) to two weeks in prison,depending on the Confederate State (usually,the least harsh punishments are given in the Confederate State of Southern Arabia and the Confederate State of Comicalaxy. On the contrary,the harshest punishments are given usually in the Confederate State of Papua New Guinea)

It is not illegal, as we are split into several separate clans that have different flags. So, overall flag burning is not illegal as a nation, but if you burn the flag of the clan you are in, or visiting, you will be exiled to separate clans, or you will be shunned

Very VERY illegal. In shotorzkia, depending on the context, punishments can range from a few days in jail to execution. If you burn the flag by mistake, you can still get charged for unintentional dissent. If you burn it in public in front of a crowd of people, you will face corporal punishment in public such as stoning, then be sent to prison. Burning the Shotorzkian flag in support of rebellious groups such as the Kaznian Paramilitary or the Krecharuzi Monarchist Army can land you public execution. In short, DON'T burn the flag. It's a wildly bad idea.

Very Illegal. Counts as treasonous and may call for Execution or E.B.W (Execution By Work), basically you rather die with a noose or worked to death in a government factory (which is basically a work camp). Associates may also face imprisonment or compulsory work in a government factory

Flag burning in the Hallowed Empire of Belm Don is a crime against the state amd seen as an act of terrorism. The punishment for burning a flag is imprisonment for an undetermined length of time while your case is heard in the Supreme and military courts. After both courts have made their ruling you may be given a length of sentence or executed based on past criminal history.

Burning the imperial flag, especially the banner of one of the many military divisions, is entirely dishonorable and violators can suffer from 30 years in prison to full on execution depending on the severity.

We very much do like our flags.
