What is the minimum age for purchase of firearms?
Firearms are not typically commodified; the minimum age to own a personal firearm is 18 in most cases.

What is the minimum age for possession of firearms/ammunition?
As above, 18 is the typical minimum.

Are citizens allowed to carry firearms? If so, do they require a special license or permit?
The carrying of firearms in public, open or otherwise, is typically restricted to those who use such things occupationally (militia, hunters, etc...). However, gun ownership is ostensibly mandatory; every citizen is assigned weaponry for civil defence purposes which is stored in an armory within their commune's hub.

What firearms are citizens allowed to purchase own?
Citizens may own most forms of handgun, semi-automatic and bolt action rifles and non-automatic shotguns.

What will prohibit someone from buying/possessing firearms or ammunition?
Those who have been deemed unfit for civil service (die to mental or physical incapacity or conscientious objection) are not generally given weaponry.

Are firearms registered in your country?
Yes. All firearms posses a unique serial number that is attached to the government ID of its owner.

Is there a limit to the amount of firearms someone may own?
Most possess one rifle and one handgun, though one can own more for occupational and recreational use.

Is there a limit to the amount of ammo someone may purchase?
Ammo is communal, so technically no.

Does your nation have a right to bear arms or something similar?
Yes. The Australic Constitution recognises the right to armament as a right pursuant to the right of the worker to organise. As stated by Marx and Engels;

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”


What is the full process for purchase of a firearm in your country?
There is little process; for most their weapons are assigned during civil service and/or vocational training. For any recreational firearm, proper training, certification, and a screening check must be done before any requisition is fulfilled.

Not explicitly.

What is the full process for purchase of a firearm in your country?
You must be a full-time resident of Westland and you will need to apply for a firearms license. The basic license will include a criminal history and medical record check as well as a fee of £60. A license may then be issued subject to a home visit to check that there is appropriate firearms storage facilities. This basic license will permit you to buy and own firearms over 30 inches in overall length that are not capable of fully automatic fire.

In order to buy and own pistols, firearms shorter than 30 inches in overall length, and firearms capable of fully automatic fire, you will need to apply for an advanced firearms licence.

Firearms laws in the Kingdom of Rwizikuru, are in theory, pretty strict, with firearms only being allowed to be used by soldiers or by police. However, in areas where government control is lax or non-existent, particularly in remote areas, firearm ownership is somewhat common among the ordinary populace.

Considering you're 18. All tramits take a month in total. Ask to a police station and say you want a weapons license and join for a course for the kind of license you want. They will check If you have criminal record. Contact to your health centre and ask for a psychological evaluation. If there is not any factor that bars you from having a license. Go to medical centre pass a psicotechnical test. With everything ok. You go start a rhetoric exam and weapons hanfmdling course If you pass it. You got a license.
Then you can go to an armory. You choose a weapon according to your license. They will do all paperwork to register it.
If you sell or dispose of your gun you have to inform about it in the near police station.

What is the minimum age for possession of firearms/ammunition? Under federal law the minimum age is 18 to purchase a firearm. There is no age limit to use a firearm under federal law

Are citizens allowed to carry firearms? If so, do they require a special license or permit? Depends on the province. Though under federal law persons above the age of 20 are allowed to conceal carry a firearm in federal areas, though this requires a permit to do so.

Most provinces allow the concealed carry of firearms, with only 5 provinces prohibiting any carrying. In 40 provinces there are no license requirements as they follow what is called constitutional carry, in which they say that since the constitution allows for firearms for self defense that the constitution also allows for carrying.

What firearms are citizens allowed to purchase? Any firearm is legally allowed to be purchased. Federal law attempted to block certain firearms but in Gun Collectors of Thermodolia and the Thermodolian Firearms Association v. the National Republic of Thermodolia the Constitutional Court ruled that article 13 applied to all firearms and as such no firearm shall be prohibited from being able to be purchased unless a person has been prevented from exercising other rights due to a criminal sentence.

What will prohibit someone from buying/possessing firearms or ammunition? Federally not being a citizen of Thermodolia or a Thermodolian National or, failing the criminal background check (those with felonies are prohibited from owning firearms).

On the provincial level more things can be added however these restrictions must comply with the above court case and with Goêge v. the State of Plîthá in which the constitutional court ruled that neither the federal government nor the provinces shall impose mental health restrictions on the ownership of firearms and that no restriction should cause an undue burden.

Are firearms registered in your country? They can be. Though federal law currently prohibits the use of a federal or national registry. Only provinces may create their own registry.

Is there a limit to the amount of firearms someone may own? No.

Is there a limit to the amount of ammo someone may purchase? In some provinces there are ammunition limits however as established in Goêge v. the State of Plîthá such limits should not cause an undue burden and can not be outrageous.

Does your nation have a right to bear arms or something similar? Yes. Article 13 of the constitution specifically states that “All citizens in Thermodolia shall have the right to defend themselves, their loved ones, and their property from harm. The use of firearms to protect the already mentioned shall also be protected.”

What is the full process for purchase of a firearm in your country?

As the process depends on the provinces the average situation will be used:

- Hold Thermodolian citizenship or be a Thermodolian National and be at least 18 years of age
- Go to a licensed firearms dealer
- After selecting the firearm(s) you wish to purchase, present your Federal ID Card or other ID.
- The clerk will then input your information and run the background check.
- Pass a criminal background check
- After passing the background check, you’ll pay for the firearms
- After that you are free to use the firearms from thereafter.

Under Thermodolian law sales between private persons are illegal, however this illegality only extends nationally and as such does not apply to any Republics or Commonwealths. Currently three out of five Republics allow for the sale of firearms between private individuals.

While sales between private individuals is illegal obtaining a federal gun dealer license is fairly easy and is a common loophole around the above law

Since firearms, by the technical definition of the term, are obsolete in Victorious Decepticons, we will answer according to our laws for energy blasters (our weapons of choice).

What is the minimum age for purchase of firearms?
There isn't any.
What is the minimum age for possession of firearms/ammunition? 0. Every new Decepticon MUST be fully armed according to the Minimum Design Specification before he is ever activated.
Are citizens allowed to carry firearms? It's a requirement, not an allowance. An unarmed Decepticon will not live long. If so, do they require a special license or permit? No.
What firearms are citizens allowed to purchase? All of them. From nukes to stone-throwing slings, they're all legal. However, only those that at least meet or exceed the government-mandated Minimum Design Specification count towards the armamentation requirement. Anything weaker than this is rightfully considered a toy even if you could easily kill unarmored biologicals with it. On Cybertron, biologicals are not what you are expected to need to fight against.
What will prohibit someone from buying/possessing firearms or ammunition? Lack of money and the lack of ability to steal the desired item. If you don't have one or the other, you're pretty much screwed. You'd better at least come up with a prop blaster, or else you'll be melted down by those who realize that you can't defend yourself against such a fate!

Are firearms registered in your country? No.
Is there a limit to the amount of firearms someone may own? No. If you want to spend your money on an arsenal bigger than that held by small nations, go ahead. Just remember that no matter what you have, the Decepticon Military has more and better of it, so don't get any wild ideas of being the new leader.
Is there a limit to the amount of ammo someone may purchase? Decepticon Blasters don't use the kind of ammo that runs out like bullets can. Instead, they're powered by our own engines. The only limit is how much Energon you can fit into your tank, your spare tanks, and your vaults.
Does your nation have a right to bear arms or something similar? It is a DUTY for EVERY citizen to be properly armed at ALL times, AND to know how to use their weapons.
What is the full process for purchase of a firearm in your country? Get your money. Go into one of the stores that sells blasters. Tell the guy at the counter which one(s) you want. Pay. You are now the owner of one or more new blasters. After this, you will typically go home, uninstall your old ones from your body, and install your new ones.

As hardwired body parts, they will instantly respond to your fire commands, and you won't have to draw because they're "pre-drawn" by virtue of being attached to your arms (or another convenient part, like your shoulders). Before you get cocky about this, remember that this is also true of every other Decepticon citizen, so you're really just ensuring that you're not comparatively weak!
No war RPs; no open RPs.

Does your nation have a right to bear arms or something similar? Yes

OOC- Any other states presenting themselves as representing all or part of the nation of Tropico from the series of City Builders are not operated by me nor are they canon to Estado de Tropico's lore. The existence of such states as have been founded on or after the 18th of October 2021, seemingly in response to my activity, have done so without my consent, but are permitted to do so by virtue of Tropico as a general country not being the unique and original intellectual property of any NS player. Nonetheless, their existence, being conflicting with my own, should be interpreted as taking place in a separate universe, as Nation States is multiversal, and no claims of accomplishing or attempting secession or other seizure of power from or by Estado de Tropico are true.

What is the minimum age for purchase of firearms? Eighteen for humans, age of sexual maturation for turtles and mental maturity for mushrooms.

What is the minimum age for possession of firearms/ammunition?
The same as purchase, unless supervised by an adult. With adults supervision and assistance, any human over eight can use a semi-automatic gun. Any human over thirteen can use an automatic weapon with adult assistance. Turtles and mushrooms have similar rules tied to their age of majority.


Are citizens allowed to carry firearms? If so, do they require a special license or permit?
Any TurtleShroomer citizen or lawful permanent resident may, at any time, conceal carry any weapon that he has lawfully purchased. If it can he hidden, he can carry it. No exceptions.


What firearms are citizens allowed to purchase?
Any firearm can be held by any TurtleShroomer of sound mind and no felony convictions. This includes automatic weapons and any weapon that can "exercise discernment", meaning that a target can be chosen without damaging others. (This excludes things like bombs and grenades.)

A private individual cannot own a conventional, chemical, biological, or nuclear weapon of mass destruction (WMD). A private individual cannot own a missile launcher, RPG, or similar deployment of missile projectiles.
A private individual CAN own a tank or armored vehicle if the vehicle has no armaments mounted on it.

A chimera CAN own any gun purchased before January 1st, 2022 AD. A chimera CAN assemble guns out of parts which are not intended and/or purpose-built for arms (so, for example, metal pipes and scrap, plastic, etc. etc.). A chimera CAN purchase any ammunition for any reason.


What will prohibit someone from buying/possessing firearms or ammunition?
1. A felony conviction
2. Involuntary or voluntary commitment to a mental asylum or similar proof of madness
3. Being a Nekomiki trying to purchase a firearm after January 1st, 2022 AD


Are firearms registered in your country?
Only at the point of sale. Firearms and ammunition all have serial numbers, but there is no gun registry or permit system.

Is there a limit to the amount of ammo someone may purchase? :rofl:
