Nudism or Naturism in Your Country

Postby Kingdom of the Flies » Wed Oct 25, 2017 1:38 pm

Curious as to see if any countries have mandatory, open, semi-open and or no nudist policies within their borders, and either logistical or cultural reasons as to why?

there are a few nudist communes, but they are seen as outsiders, and recieve little support form the government or the other syndicates

Nudism is only allowed inside the home. There are a tiny handful of communities of them, but are pretty much hated universally by the populace.

There are no laws regarding nudism in Valgora.

This is because ponies (32% of the population of Valgora) don't wear clothes all the time. It is also seen as an area in which the government should not care about.

Of course, if you are a nudist and not a species that is well adapted to cold weather (e.g. humans), then you will likely succumb to hypothermia.

It's mostly legal, but full nudity isn't socially acceptable in urban areas, so is quite rare in the cities, but skimpy and semitransparent clothing are acceptable and very common.

Nudity is illegal outside of the home. There are also laws against indecent dress; both men and women must conceal their knees, breasts, and all in-between.

A few places do allow dress that would otherwise be considered indecent, namely public pools, beaches, and gyms. Because people can ultimately choose whether or not they want to go to a gym or pool and be exposed to it, to dress indecently in such a place is not considered an infringement on the innocence of others. However, total nudity is still not permitted in these places.

Nudity is okay in designated areas, like nudist resorts, but we require that at least underwear be worn when outside those areas and it's customary to wear full clothing when doing daily business. The reason for this is simply to try to protect a bit against sexual assault and harassment.
It's usually best to wear a good amount of clothing when outside anyway, since we're prone to rapid temperature drops, being an Antarctican nation.

Clothes are optional in Blodrike for both men and women. Outside of religious reasons (and all Abrahamic religions are banned), there is no justification for making nudity illegal. But the weather is not very conducive to nudity, with rain being very common.

Depends. Nudism is only permissible when done at non-public places. Meanwhile, nudism in public is punishable and offenders will have to face trial at a people's court. The punishment ranges from a hefty fine to community service, however if children are involved then the offender will be sent to minimum-level prison for a few months to a few years.

Within Zhouranese culture, nudism is generally seen as a sign of "primitiveness". Because of the Zhouranese archipelago's extreme climate seasons (hot summers to freezing winters with the north experiencing heavy snowing), nudism is viewed as "odd" and even "perverted".

Nudism is absolutely banned in Alizeria. In fact, until 1979 there was a public dress code in place in which short sleeves were banned and hats were manditory in public. Today this is long gone, but echos of it remain in terms of Alizerians' attitude toward public dress (most Alizerians dress formally even for casual situations).

Some time ago due to a Maxtopian campaign of deporting entire communities of ethnic rapists into the otherwise unpopulated border region of South Bagus Nakalca, who soon migrated into our more populated regions, and began raping our indigenous populace, a strict policy of public nudity was enforced in the fast food districts of all major centers, and proved to be sufficient in radically reducing ritual rape. :shock:

As OP, our nation is extremely pro-nudity. Many local areas are complete naturists. Any city or municipal area allows nudity if well practiced.

Revealing hefty amount of skin is allowed, people can freely wear their bikinis, miniskirts, and shorts. There are nudist beaches present throughout the country.

Nudism is the national ideology of Nakad and complete nudity is the law. While it is a cultural thing now, it started off as a form of protest. Nakad wanted independence from an oppressive empire and the person leading this revelation did so in civil disobedience, one of them being refusing to cover himself. More and more people joined his cause and when Nakad did achieve its independence, the people were so used to being naked had taken note of several other positive traits of it that it became the national identity and was made into mandatory law.

Nudists in the Nomadic Legion are largely ignored, as Crucilandians have amorphous bodies, natural protection against the elements, and access to pocket dimensions. The only problem with nudism and naturism is the matter of public indecency, which is solved by mandating that all "nude" Crucilandians hide their assorted genitalia (and any other unmentionables) inside of themselves while out in public.

There are wildly different polices across different subregions, ranging from the northwest, where there are laws against wearing "short shorts", even at beaches, to a town where nudity is expected, even required, of you.
