Soooo... Boldonia has definitely changed a lot since 2022 when I originally posted this. As of 2026 there are no banned books in Boldonia, there were never any banned books in Boldonia, this has been significantly retconned.

There is a total ban on obscene materials, such as child pornography and sexual assault. The definition is similar to what Canada uses in Appendix B of Memorandum D9-1-1.

Certain publications that promote racism and xenophobia, such as The Turner Diaries and the unannotated editions of Mein Kampf (the ones not published by the German Institute of Contemporary History), are restricted from sale or import: the reason for restricting such materials, instead of banning them entirely, is that such publications are also used by academics and researchers to study and/or counter racism and xenophobia.

Some publications like The Anarchist Cookbook are not banned in Minoa, but they can be, along with publications that promote racism and xenophobia, a significant aggravating factor if a person being prosecuted for violent crimes (such as a terrorist attack or a terrorist plot) was caught in possession of the publication.

All banned books by the revolutionary government are books related to/promoting far-left ideologies (i.e. communism, syndicalism, national socialism, socialism, etc.) and all existing books are to be confiscated if found. Moreover, other books inciting separatism, LGBTQ encouragement, and anti-government propaganda are very much prohibited by law. Any person in possession of the books mentioned is subjected to government monitoring.

In a Kaiserreich-ish world where Germany won the Great War, Poland has been re-established as a buffer against Russia. However, Poland proved to be a rebellious neighbor instead of a submissive ally in the future. Moral of the story: Germany's biggest mistake was re-establishing Poland.

There are no banned books in Andronya, the closest you could get to that would be to show or expose certain books to minors that contain sexual/pornographic content, but even then, said books aren't banned, the illegal thing is just having children exposed to them.

Nobody knows the full list except the high ranking officials of the Kogurean Communist Party, but some of the restricted works include Mein Kampf, works by foreign Marxists, some books of Western political philosophy especially of anti-Marxist orientation, and any material that puts itself against the leadership of the Kogurean Communist Party, the state system, the Party's historical viewpoint, or promote violations of the state law

In addition, Bibles and Sutras are restricted to sale within approved religious temples, LGBT, sex, and drug topics are regularly censored or banned, and works that are deemed promoting feudal ideology and antisocial lifestyle are never sold anywhere

As such there are mamy books that are restricted or banned per regulation by the Ministry of Culture.

There are no books that are banned in Huaxia. Even reactionary books, including fascist, liberal, capitalist, anti-science, religious, and pro-western works are technically not banned, although reactionary literature is used technically for research and education into understanding the mindset of enemies and their lack of material dialectic analysis due to reliance on reactionary dogma. Great examples of reactionary literature that are commonly researched include Mein Kampf, Art of the Deal, Rules for Radicals, and Atlas Shrugged.
