Just look out for sudden Tentacle Monster attacks originating from the toilet. We have reports of multiple of these beasts living in our sewage system.

Magical Girls should be extra cautious.

Toilets are split into men's and women's here. Urinals are banned in Slembana, because they provide no privacy whatsoever.

FUCK ISRAEL! I support peace, therefore I stand with Palestine. I want a bi-national solution, a state in which Jews and Palestinians can coexist peacefully. The onus is on Israel to stop this - it can do it anytime by bringing a ceasefire and ending apartheid.

Our toilets may be used either as squat toilets or as "throne" toilets. They are dual-use.

You always have the option to use running water to clean up afterwards. Our toilets tend to incorporate the function of a bidet, or there may be a separate bidet.

Image

Because of this, there is no such thing as toilet paper in our nation. You are now warned. :)

BotheWestern and squat type toilets are common in Fatatatutti, as are bidets. The most important thing that tourists should be aware of is that almost all bathrooms are unisex, including showers.

In public as well as private homes, Kaivothemiscyra permits installation of only squat-toilet/bidet hybrids that provide bleeding edge hygiene.

Construction may include only unisex bathrooms in public and private bathrooms alike. Sanitorial services cleans public bathrooms on a high frequency basis. A one-person stall with locking door surrounds each public toilet. 24x7 surveillance cameras, manned by female security, assure safety to any of the public using non-private bathrooms. Public bathrooms have no stand-up toilets but do supply tampons and hygienic napkins along with soap and water for free.

Self cleaning devices are installed to clean the bowl and leave behind a gentle fresh sent. And installed bidets so you can rinse your ass clean. Newer toilets have these cleaning devices already installed, while an additional addon is available for install on older toilets. Some toilets even have ipod docks so you can listen to music while you shit. And with our move towards Eco-friendliness toilets also generate compost so you can plant a beautiful garden with your shit.

Another famous product was the Big City Toilet and was sold by the late television star Billy Mays. Here are two Big City Toilet ads which aired in Arkiasis.

They do have different needs. :blink:

Well, it's not patriarchal, but it is actually quite silly. However different their needs may be (not that much, honestly), a modern flush toilet can handle them both quite well, we see no reason why it should be used exclusively by one sex. I'm pretty sure the one in your house isn't, why should a public toilet be different?

THINK OF THE CHILDREN! LOL


We have. Suppose you're accompanying a small child of the opposite sex, who suddenly needs to use the toilet. Which one do you take him/her into? Here in Swilatia, the answer to that is quite simple.

In Ygolonacoragi, the type of toilet available varies on where you are: urban public restrooms are likely to offer bidets, squat toilets, and Western toilets; public restrooms in more upscale rural villages have squat toilets; and very rural areas have a hole in the ground.

The basic design is no different than what humans of 21st century Western world would be accustomed to. Coming from mainly-Western backgrounds, the ancestors of Sidhae saw no need to reinvent what already worked fine.
Proud National Socialist. Blaming everything on the liberals since 2000.

The world is full of criminal enterprises and terrorist organizations. The most successful ones are known as states.

Life is like surfing the Internet - there's no meaning or purpose, yet you don't really want to quit either.

The fact that slaves are allowed to elect their masters does not abolish the division in masters and slaves.

Don't try to deride me by calling me an "-ist" or "-phobe" unless you are referring to a medical condition or are trying to compliment me.

Socially-liberal capitalist democracy DOES NOT equate to free society.

Contrary to popular belief, National Socialists aren't racists. They simply hate their own race less than others.

There are two types of toilet in Khanastan, excluding urinals, Bipedal toilets - the standard kind, and squat toilets, made for equine use.

Toilets are maintained by series of staff, and if they are not kept clean and sanitary, these staff can face sanctions. Too much money is invested into this sector to work improperly, as with all nationalised services.
“The ancient Oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing.” - Socrates
Khanastan is an entirely fictional PMT nation somewhat similar to a larger, more free version of China. We are a massive federal representative republic of half a billion people with a self-sufficient, world-dominating economy. NS stats are not used. Use our Factbook instead.
Call me Khan. I've been here a while. I'm from Glasgow, Scotland. I think people should treat people like they want to be treated themselves. If you want to know more you're going have to buy me a drink or get to know me better, otherwise i'll stop being such a mystery.
Merry crisis one and all.
