No

10. Is theft legal
No

11. Is swearing legal

Yes, one has the option to be identified with a third option in their sex

14. Is Bisexuality legal?
Yes, see above

15. Is teaching evolution legal?

17. Do your citizens have the right to protest?
Yes, with realistic restrictions. For example, people can't just decide to block a major highway or bridge just for protesting (clarification edit: people usually have to receive a protest permit from the jurisdiction they wish to protest in i.e. from the city hall of the city they want to protest in, jurisdictions cannot arbitrarily restrict any group from protesting within their boundaries)

18. Do citizens have the right to form trade unions?
Yes

19. Do your citizens have the right to appear naked in public.

No

22. Is religious discrimination legal?
No

Yes

28. Are illegal immigrants given the same rights as your own citizens?
Almost, but illegal immigrants cannot vote, own property, or participate in government unless they enrol for citizenship

No, Beiluxia isn't America

30. Is being able to criticise the government legal?
Yes, though for some reason people sometimes can't tell the difference between criticizing and threatening a government official...

No, in Beiluxia the term 'treason' is defined as the act of a party giving confidential or sensitive information relating to Beiluxia to any foreign nation/group without the consent of the government

Yes, though it's not used that commonly

33. Is pre-marital sex legal?

35. Is there compulsory military service in your nation?
No, though this can be changed during a time or crisis or when emergency/martial law is declared

36. Can citizens form their own political parties?
No, political parties detriment the process of democracy as they control every member's independent thoughts The 2012 constitutional crisis concerning the constitutionality of political parties was ended when the Supreme Judiciary ruled political parties legal; therefore, political parties have been reinstated throughout Beiluxia after being banned for a few months.

40. Is hunting legal?
Yes, one has to get a Recreational Hunting Permit first and can only hunt in specified areas.

41. Is breaking and entry legal?
No, that's pretty much destruction of property, invasion of privacy, and burglary

42. Is art censored?
No

43. Are your citizens allowed to eat unhealthy food
Yes

44. Are your citizens allowed to smoke
No longer. Beiluxia is estimated to have around only 500,000 smokers remaining. This is caused by the successful ban of selling tobacco to anyone without a Smoker's Permit, a sought after luxury item for the rich who want to enjoy their Cuban Cigars. Starting January 1 2012 all tobacco will be banned in Beiluxia and remaining smokers can receive a year's worth of free nicotine relievers or go to rehab if the urge is too much. The Government delayed the plan to ban tobacco and rehabilitate remaining tobacco users until at the very least 2014 due to public outcry; as of October 2013 less than 400,000 smoking permits are in use.

45. Are your citizens allowed to drink?
Yes, starting at the High-Prime Teen Phase (age 21) the drinking age has been lowered to 18 effective early 2012.

1. A) Is there a voting system in your nation
Yes
B) If so is it compulsory or non-compulsory
Non-compulsory and voluntary.
2. Is Prostitution legal
It's considered under the law like any other business practice in itself.
3. What is the age of consent in your nation
There is no age of consent.
4. Is the manufacture and viewing of Pornography legal
Yes
5. Is taking drugs for medicinal purposes prohibited
Yes
6. Is taking drugs for recreational use prohibited
No

No, damage against another individual, settled in criminal court.
8. Is rape legal
See above
9. Is fraud legal
No, damage against property, settled in civil court.
10. Is theft legal
See above.
11. Is swearing legal
Complete freedom of speech.
12. Are violent video games and films censored
No, censorship is unconstitutional.
13. Is Homosexuality legal
Yes, government does not regulate sexual practices given they are consensual.
14. Is Bisexuality legal
See above.
15. Is teaching evolution legal
Of course, it's science.
16. Is teaching creationism legal.
It's not expressly illegal, although any institution that tried would sink pretty much instantly.
17. Do your citizens have the right to protest
Freely and liberally, yes.
18. Do citizens have the right to form trade unions.
Workers have the right to assemble of course. Unions in the traditional sense do not exist in Laissez-Faire, however.
19. Do your citizens have the right to appear naked in public.
Yes.
20. Is racial discrimination legal
Discrimination isn't illegal, but a firm would be foolish to use such fallacious terms of discrimination. In terms of the law, all groups are judged equally and without any special exceptions, excuses or expectations.
21. Is gender discrimination legal
^
22. Is religious descrimination legal
^
23. Is abortion legal
Of course.
24. Is divorce legal
Government isn't involved in marriage, it is not a power constitutionally granted.

Yes, it is still legal. Amazingly our laws have not changed in a matter of seconds, which is probably a revolutionary prospect for some nations.
26. Is adultery legal
See 24.
27. Are your citizens allowed to use contraception.
Yes, of course.
28. Are illegal immigrants given the same rights as your own citizens
Well, under our justice system they surely have the same rights as any other person, considering they are ultimately within our sovereign jurisdiction.

There is no income tax, and sales taxes are handled on a civil law basis.
30. Is being able to criticise the government legal
Of course. It is encouraged and liberally used.
31. Is treason legal
In the sense of questioning the state, yes.
32. Is affirmative action permitted
Unheard of policy. Institutions granting passes to certain groups would quickly sink in Laissez-Faire.
33. Is pre-marital sex legal
Government is not involved in marriage.
34. Is the press completely free
Yes. Open to free market competition, no regulations, and not supported by public funds.
35. Is there compulsory military service in your nation
Of course not. Government may not incite it's citizens to involuntary servitude.
36. Can citizens form their own political parties
Political groups may freely be formed. However, they have no mandate over our political system.
37. Is healthcare free
Of course not.
38. Is there a pensions system
