Mein Kampf is the only book that is banned. This is because of it's glorification of Nazis. Owning and/or distributing it can get you a fine that is the equivalent to $5,000 per copy. However if you are using it for educational purposes, then it is legal to own and distribute (as long as you are distributing it for educational reasons).

Contrary to so-called "free" countries, Our Federation does not ban books on ideological grounds, despite being an actual Fascist dictatorship.

Instead, authors such as Marx, Robin D'Angelo, and Helen Joyce are relentlessly mocked and their discussed ideals are used as the basis of "high comedy" acts in GWO intelligentsia circles.

However, books like Lolita are banned due to being considered child pornography, and possession of them is grounds for a fine and the government conducting a forensic audit of your electronic devices.

There are no 'banned' books as such, though the Senate did recently vote to cease publication of the phone book because it was an insufferable waste of paper (and is now available online instead).

There are no banned books in the Directorate. Instead, we keep up a list of selected books that contain dangerous or offensive material. These books contain additional commentaries explaining "why the book/author is wrong", usually explaining the historical context of its era. Such books include Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto, and Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung. Fiction books such as Lolita or 1984 (which are banned in some countries) are neither banned nor censored and do not include additional commentaries.

No books are banned in Hallownest. Since there is no government to police any bans, it would be almost impossible to do so even if we wanted to.

Any book on magic or that preaches ideas of spiritualism, platonism, reincarnation or that contain elements of such are banned in my country. Books with gay sex or books that praise homosexuality, that advocate drugs, alcohol or that promote sexual immorality.
Even Christian books that preach heresies like Docetism, Gnosticism, that deny the existence of God, that deny the divinity of Jesus, or that support the idea that Sabbath keeping has been abolished are prohibited.

If a forbidden book is found, it must be immediately burned by the police forces and the bearer of it will be arrested and tried for the crime of treason to the Fatherland.

Only books approved by the glorious dragon king Aerion V Targaryen are allowed to be read in the Valyrian Commonwealth. All other books are banned

If a book includes something negative about Aerion V or any members of the Targaryen family, the author and his or hers family are executed by dragon fire.

Books that are 'soft-banned' are mostly about the exploits of the barbarian elite, often with a touch of historical accuracy i.e. those that are considered excessively gory.

Banned Books in the United Kingdom

Postby Great Britain eke Northern Ireland » Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:11 am

Besides books that detail how to create improvised weapons, including bombs and such, and lolicon/shotacon pornographic material (ie child pornography), there are no banned books in the United Kingdom. Particularly controversial books (categorised as extremist or potentially dangerous materials) such as Mein Kampf are labelled as such and readers are advised to read them academically and to think critically of its contents. Additional commentaries that give historical context and explain objective falsehoods within the material are also included in those books; subjectivity is however not ‘explained’ except when it conflicts with modern evidence, in which case said evidence is given and explained in contrast to the material).

Are there any books that are banned in your nation?:
Yes.
What are they and why?:
Catholic books, most books of Islamic scholarship, all books written by Charles Murray, Aristotle’s Politics,
Plato’s The Republic and all books written by David Hume.

The reason is because these books (or the authors of these books, in their other books) have disagreed with Lord-President Hereward The Woke on something.
