Nudist Nations

Postby New Edom » Wed Aug 08, 2012 7:31 am

NOTiCE: PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE IF YOUR NATION DOES NOT IN SOME MANNER TOLERATE OR ACCEPT PUBLIC NUDITY. TRAVEL ADIVSORIES ISSUED BY THE NEW EDOMITE MINISTRIES OF TOURISM, CULTURE AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS PRESUME THAT PUBLIC NUDITY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED THROUGH THIS ADVISORY.

According to a census tentatively taken by the Department of Administration several months ago it was revealed that there are several nudist nations in the world. Some of these do it according to cultural practice, others for religious reasons. The Census Bureau of the Department of the Administration is currently conducting a study on behalf of the Ministry of Culture to determine why this is. We have provided a questionnaire. We ask that the questionnaire be filled out. Non-nudist nations can of course send in information but it would be somewhat counterproductive to this study. Nations such as TurtleShroom for instance do have commerce and tourism agreements with New Edom but are so intolerant of public nudity that their data would merely be recorded as 'non nudist nation', meaning that New Edomite tourits and commercial travelers would be aware that under no circumstances can they appear nude in public and must be careful about when they can be nude in private.

Note: New Edom no longer practices compulsory nudity. Nudity is perfectly legal in all parts of New Edom, however, and some religious practitioners follow complete naturism, or Edenism, as a demonstration of humility. Many modern Edomites also wear clothing on a daily basis, increasingly, as most of New Edom's trading partners wear clothing to do business and recreation.

Edenist Travel Advisory Guide




CATEGORY E – These countries only tolerate nudity in very specific circumstances, such as at certain swimming pools, beaches, saunas and on private property. Pay careful attention to local laws and do not generally travel without clothing. Nudity may be highly sexualized in this country.

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: The Most Serene Republic of Transhuman Proteus
Nation Demonym: Protean (Protean Transhuman, Protean Uplift etc)
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? Yes
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does Yes. At the moment a slight majority of citizens still prefer to be clothed (this doesn't seem to be changing). And of the citizens electing nudity most still wear clothes to work, preferring to go nude in their off time, while socializing etc. It is entirely the choice of the individual to elect to forgo clothing (or to elect to not forgo clothing)
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. It has had an influence, especially the respect held for total morphological freedom. In recent decades, with the rise in options in regards to body modification and cosmetic/artistic augmentation, the body has become a potential work of art (or scientific marvel) which people seek to display. Likewise while clothing certainly exists tailored for them, many animal uplifts, created sapients and embodied AIs don't have the same cultural and/or social attachment to clothing (or the same aspects of anatomy humans seek to conceal) and therefore elect to forgo clothing.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain No
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? It is the individuals responsibility to care for their own well being. Of course if PPE is required in the lab or in whatever workplace it must be worn, likewise for individuals in positions it would be unsuitable to go nude (such as an ambassador meeting a foreign dignitary) there will typically be dress codes. As above though, generally most citizens still elect to be clothed at work (though in some areas, such as artistic fields, nudism is much more common in the work place)
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it? Nudity is not compuslory so - n/a
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports?Nudity is not compuslory so - n/a. However some of these areas do have dress codes.
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? Automated cleaning bots are much more active to ensure such public places remain hygienic. Private businesses are fully entitled to have a "no nudity" policy if they wish.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? There does not appear to have been a marked increase in promiscuity due to nudism. However the nation has a fairly liberal culture regarding sex, so "promiscuity" is likely slightly higher than other nations anyway.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Yes
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? No, the nation is predominantly atheist. When nudism laws were past there were some protests from certain religious minorities decrying declining morals, but they have been unable to garner sufficient popular support or mount a convincing argument to make the government consider rolling back the laws.

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: New Lyrane
Nation Demonym: Lyranian
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? No.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does It simply isn't done to wear garments in public. Garments are considered to be tools, to be used when absolutely necessary. And when the job is done, you put your tools away.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. The prevailing Pure Land philosophy considers all adornments to be an outward and visible sign of an inward moral turpitude.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain It is an outrage to public decency to cover your face and torso in garments.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? Hats are commonly worn by those who spend much time outdoors. The population of the homeworld is concentrated in the tropics, so there isn't much need to protect oneself from the weather. Space suits are used to protect from vacuum and cold. Hygiene? Uh, you wash and wipe your parts after you use the toilet. Is that what you mean?
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it? Visitors are required to go nude as well.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports? Persons go about their lawful occasions in the nude as they always have. Schools have compulsory hairstyles, so we do have school uniforms. In team sports, teams have different coloured headbands.
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? Persons go about their lawful occasions in the nude as they always have.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? No. Drinking encourages promiscuous sexual activity. Married persons are expected to be faithful to their wives.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Pornography is reasonably popular. There are no laws restricting what persons over the age of consent may read or view.
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? Of course. Yuri the All-Mother as well as many other deities and spirits are venerated in public and private. Many rites involve body paint.

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: The Republic of Woodstead
Nation Demonym: Woodsteasian
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? It is tolerated by many, in appropriate circumstances.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? Maybe not so much nudism, but the freedom of choices in places; all beaches are public and are clothing-optional. Nudity is featured in many art pieces and post-8pm television.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. Yes, since it has so far allowed all public peaches to stay flesh-friendly. Nudity is seen as a natural thing by most people. In the 2012 Skin Survey, distributed by The Naturism Association, 80% of people disclosed they slept naked and roamed around the house in their birthday suit, usually when alone; 74% had or were willing to skinny dip, and 90% have visited the beach naked.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain Only in certain communities, such as a withdrawn community of 3,000 who live in three small woodland communities (Lake Indigo, Lake Liberty & Fleshwater), screened off. They have rights to vote and practice nudism, but these communities like, at least away from tents, cabins and yurts, to be free of clothing. They tend to have children within their own education systems, to be assessed later in life at a local school, so they must then be clothed then.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? Nudity, to mainstream thoughts, is most hygienic within our public spas, saunas, and bathing lakes, though nudity is not totally enforced, but always permitted. Nudity is seen as a matter where people love their bodies and the bodies of those around them; bodily harm is claimed to be well-avoided as the people aren't to embrace nudity and thus there are no concerns. Eating disorders and crippling insecurities are nil in some areas due to what doctors say is exposure to body diversity, though this is not always credited.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it? No laws.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports? NA
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? People must at least be covered with some form of shoes/flip-flops, with covered buttocks, frontal area, and at the discretion of the owners, drivers, etc, tops may have to be worn. With restaurants, chests, intimate areas, and feet must have some covertness. Some pop-up restaurants actually have a one-night objective of eating naked.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? Not in most places, but tradition made it legal to have public, naked sex at Heymann's Rock Beach, now screened and closely monitored. Also, within the communities, nudity occurs at the same time of promiscuity, so possibly.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Yes, with some censoring. However, the censorship is mostly lax.
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? No- most people are non-theists and treat their skin as a deity, even whilst pumping food, alcohol, and drugs into their bodies sometimes.

Name of Nation: The University-State of Agymnum
Nation Demonym: University Scientist; University Researcher
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? Yes.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does No (only 2.5% of our population is nudist).
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. Yes and no. Yes if the nudist practice is for scientific study (of the body, how it reacts to elements, etc) and no if its just for the heck of it (we don't discourage it, we just don't encourage it for no reason).
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain Yes, for all students in our biology classes. Allows students to rid themselves of the shame they may have with their bodies as well as study the human body more hands-on (we regulate this to prevent molestation/abuse).
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? Nudist implants have been invented to make the body more resistant to bodily harm, extreme changes in the environment, and to generally reduce the amount of dirt absorbed by the body when nude.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it? NA
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports? NA
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? People treat it like normal - doesn't raise eyebrows.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? No. We encourage nudism only for scientific purposes - promiscuous sexual activity is also encouraged in the name of science (studying reproduction and erotic culture) but is not tied to nudism in any way, shape, or form.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Yes, of course.
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? Though we have a few Christians and Buddhists, most of them are open-minded about nudism and find it to be a tolerable practice. They can't really complain, anyways, considering they chose to live in a nation dominated by science, not religion.

Nation Demonym: Arkiasin
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? Yes, in the appropriate circumstances.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does Not nudism per se, but more so the fact that it is completely legal to be nude anywhere in the nation unless stated otherwise. All public beaches/pools and public parks are clothing optional.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. Swimming nude is the norm and bathing suits are seen as frivolous, approximately 90% of people all swim nude including in pools and beaches. Nudity is common and is completely fine on television even on child friendly programs, nudity is not considered sexual or taboo in Arkiasis, we see it as healthy for children to learn that the human body isn't anything to be ashamed about. And many cities also host a nude parade and celebration once a year, some people paint themselves up in body art for these parades as well.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain No
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? On beaches people are advised to apply sun screen to protect themselves and many places in the nation have hand sanitizers such as buildings and public transportation. However being nude around the city is seen as odd and an inappropriate situation to do so, in everyday life people prefer to wear clothes for comfort and hygienic purposes. When it's cold of course everyone is wearing clothes, unless you purposely want to freeze.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it?
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports?

How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? Any private business or private land can place and enforce mandatory clothing codes on their property ala "no shirt, no shoes, no service". Some public transport system have placed clothing codes but most still remain nude free. Some public buildings are also clothing mandatory including schools and official government offices.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? No, nudity is in no way equitable nor associated with sexual activity in Arkiasis, however even with sex we're fairly open-minded.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Yes
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? Nope, even many religious people are quite open and tolerant on nudity and see no problem with other people being nude even if they themselves don't do it.

Questionnaire

Name of Nation: Magical Equestria

Nation Demonym: Equestrian, "pony" (dominant species)

Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? We don't merely tolerate it, it's second nature to us.

Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does Yes. Ponies don't normally wear clothes.

Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. "Nudism" isn't really a thing with us, it's just the way we normally are.

Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain No, ponies are free to wear clothing, and we often "dress up" to show off.

How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? Ponies are fairly hardy creatures, and we don't mind extremes in weather or temperature the way humans do. Also, Equestria has a naturally mild climate, controlled by our Pegasus ponies so that clothing really isn't required, even during the middle of winter.

If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it? No, if your culture expects you to wear clothes, we assume it's for a good reason.

If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports? Other than many ponies like to "dress up" for formal affairs, it has no affect at all.

How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? Ditto.

Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? Not that we've noticed. ;)

Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? "Porn" is illegal in our nation and socially frowned upon. Of course, being nude is not considered "lascivious". Ponies have no nudity taboo like humans do, so we really don't see the point of that.

Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? Our ruler and living deity, the divine Princess Celestia, usually wears only her tiara, ceremonial horse-collar and shoes. She's actually considered somewhat "overdressed" by pony standards.

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: The Anarchist Federation fo Threlizdun
Nation Demonym: Threlizdun
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? It's never really been taboo in Threlizdunian society. For many it is convenient at certain times, others find it comfortable, and a rather fair amount practice it as a lifestyle choice.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does Nudism is extremely common when at the beach, lakes, pools, or other environments in which swimming is common. Participating in athletics and exercise in the nude is fairly common as well. As stated previously, some Threlizdunians are devoted nudists, and forgo clothing in almost all circumstances.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. The human body is highly celebrated in Threlizdunian society, so displaying it in its purest form is often appreciated for its aesthetic value. Otherwise, practicality, comfort, and lifestyle choices determine ones approach to nudity.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain Of course not. Why would one force others to forgo clothing if they do not wish to?
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? Citizens are expected to be capable of determing for themselves how they should dress for the situation they are in. Public bath houses do exist, so hygiene is not a serious issue. If problems arrise, then assistance will certainly be provided by public health workers.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it? N/A
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports? N/A
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? Some foreigners have trouble adjusting at times, though most are used to it. Its uncommon to be in public for extended periods of time without seeing at least someone nude.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? We wouldn't say nudism does, though sexuality is also widely accepted in Threlizdun. Technically sex should be noted under acceptance of public nudity though, as sex in public is completely legal, and not that uncommon. Our "party cities", thriving entertainment hubs that consume almost entire cities, are extremely notorious for public displays of sexuality.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Certainly
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? Classical Threlizdunian pantheist customs have mostly promoted the human body as natural and beautiful, and found that it should be completely accpeted. Religions founded in foreign nations are often a bit more hesitant about nudism, though most of them have accepted it, and some have even embraced it.

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: The Unified City-States of Tsvarchi
Nation Demonym: Tsvarchivan(s)
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? It isn't a mere toleration of nudity. It's simply how it is done here, bar a few people here and there.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does It is the rule, not the exception. About 80% of the nation practices nudism regularly, with about another 10% occasionally.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. It absolutely does. Clothes are seen as a mask of the pure and beautiful form of the body.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain No.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? Since Tsvarchivans widely consider it rude and disrespectful to be dirty (especially when naked), everyone is extremely clean and hygienic. The temperature never dips below 80 degrees, so that's no issue.

If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports?

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: The Queendom of Zevassa
Nation Demonym: Zevasi
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? Yes
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does No; the Zevasi citizens enjoy a great deal of social liberty, including what they choose to wear. It is not against the law to be nude in Zevassa, and a sizable portion of the citizenry enjoy that freedom in their daily lives.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. Yes, but encourage is the wrong word to use. Zevassa encourages nudism in the same way that Zevassa encourages social liberty. The Zevasi people are taught to be themselves and to do with themselves whatever they wish to do... within the limitations of the law (such as severe self injury or posing a real threat to other citizens).
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain In Zevassa, it is required by order of the Queen for government agents to submit to strip searches before entering the work place; similarly, all guests must submit to strip searches before entering government facilities. This is a rapid, non-invasive process in which the employee or guest must simply take off their clothing, have their clothing and body checked for weapons, and are sent on their way. The average check takes as much time as the subject takes to strip (2-3 minutes on average). This only applies to government facilities that concern the operation of government; places such as schools, public parks and public libraries are exempt.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? Zevassa is a semi-tropical nation with an abundance of rainforest and as such this can be a real concern for her citizens. However, approximately 50% of the population has brown skin which helps to protect against the sun and related conditions, while other weather effects are less common. Rain is common in Zevassa and so citizens are more in danger of flooding or mudslides than they are from other weather effects, minus sunlight. Reduced body hair is the cultural norm in Zevassa, so if a Zevasi is unfortunate enough to wound themselves while nude the affected area is easier to access and clean that it otherwise would be. The average Zevasi winter is about 8-16C while the average Zevasi summer is around 27-35C. Snow is incredibly uncommon in Zevassa, with winter weather constituting of mostly rain and fog.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it? In general, visitors are less inclined to enter government buildings. Other than that, they might avoid nudists on the streets, or depending on the individual might embrace the increased freedom Zevassa has to offer.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports? Daily check-ins are required to enter government facilities.
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? Some establishments might enact dress codes or require clothing, depending on if it is appropriate or not. For example, uniforms are required for public servants so that they might be more easily identified.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? Zevassa encourages her citizens to procreate only when ready, and as such has wide-sweeping sex education programs. Contraceptives and "smart sex" care are in widespread use in Zevassa.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Yes; however, these are limited to certain adult establishments. Depicting sexuality in a pornographic or provocative manner isn't socially acceptable in public, despite there being no laws against it.
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? A sizable portion of the population follows the teachings of Gaianism, which has transferred from surrounding Zembrill. Gaianism encourages nudity. Zevassa recognizes no national religion.

Yes.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does.
Well, the southern, hotter and more humid jungle areas widely 'practice' it, as it's way more comfortable to go nude instead of wearing clothes.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain.
Encourage? Nah. Our citizen may go nude, but we don't tell them whether it's good to do it or not.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain
No.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism?
Bodily harm? Well, those damn insects can be annoying when they sting one's body, but that's why we have insect sprays and free inoculation regarding the diseases those insects may transmit. Regarding weather/temperature extremes - due to nudism not being compulsory, citizens know when to wear clothes and when not. Hygiene? Erm ... we hope they don't roll around in mud and stuff, but if they do, we hope they wash themselves when they get back home. We encourage being civilized.

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: The Disputed Territories of A Capitalist Commune
Nation Demonym: A Capitalist Commune
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? Not merely. It's expected.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does Yes. It is practiced everywhere at all times by members of all four genders.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. Yes. Our species considers it shocking to see others parading their social status by covering their natural appearance.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain Yes. Clothing is banned.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism?
Our nation's ample vegetation ensures safety from the harmful lights.
Our species has the ability to regulate our core body tempterature via our food supply. Visiting species are invited to sit by fires do cold days and enjoy warm soups with us. Heat is far less of a problem.
Running water supplies ensure there is always somewhere close by where a person can become clean should the need arise. It is customary to carry a towel as a seat covering along with other possessions.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it?
Visitors and tourists who come to our nation with clothes immediately have them confiscated.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports?
Everyone feels a much greater sense of equality. Honesty is enhanced as everyone knows that no one is hiding anything.
Visiting diplomats are honoured upon their arrival in their natural state despite how our diplomats suffer the humiliation of having to wear lion cloths in many foreign nations.
Sports are popular with all ages and the freedom to move without clothing restrictions not only enhances performance but also allows perspiration to quickly evaporate.
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport?
Restaurant staff are required to perform all duties in their natural state but may protect themselves with transparent coverings, as is the case in other more dangerous industries, should the need arise. Such coverings are not deemed garments or clothing under our laws.
Swimming pools are popular especially when the air is hot and our citizens enjoy the ability to be able to feel the water on every part of their body.
Public transport can be crowded at times but as citizens are used to observing one another in their natural states, rather than hidden by varying degrees of attire, means that all are comfortable in these circumstances.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity?
Quite the opposite. Promiscuity is a problem for textiled nations because people are curious about other genders. We have no such troubles in our land as the entire population observes from their first day of seeing light what a variety of shapes and sizes our species, and foreign ones, come in.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted?
No of course not. For a start, strip clubs require cloths which are banned in our nation. As our species requires all four genders to reproduce and the marital unions are partially arranged, there is no need for any extra sorts of stimulous. Photographs for the purposes of education, art, personal albums, advertising and other wholesome, natural activities are permitted.
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country?
All religious ceremonies are performed in our natural state as well. After all, our four genders were all perfectly formed in their natural states from each of the four elements, all of which continue to exist in their natural states.

Edit:
As this questionnaire was provided with the wording shown it has been kept. However here in The Disputed Territories of A Capitalist Commune, we prefer to refer to our natural lifestyle as naturism seeing it is truly about living in harmony with our natural environment. Everyone is born a naturist. Everyone practises nudism when they wash. But to live as a naturist is an entirely different ethos to merely practising nudism for the health benefits.

Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? Yes, this is taught to young child-clones in their creches by the philosophical schools.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? No.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? There are no weather/temperature extremes in our air-tight city-domes. The temperature is carefully kept within a comfortable 294-298 Kelvin in our residential domes.
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? No nudity is permitted in public transport areas for health reasons. All public swimming pools allow nudity. The cooking, serving, and eating of food is typically done while clothed, so nudism isn't a factor there, but it would be permitted as long as there are no serious hygenic issues.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? No, culturally we don't associate nudity and sex as much as in sexually repressed cultures. There is a much closer association between clothes and sex, so it would be fair to ask us if clothes encourage promiscuity.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? Permitted, yes, but they don't exist in the same way in our culture.
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? Some religious practices involve nudity. The priestesses of Aphrodite dance in a yearly nude art performance that is watched on flatscreen (or if you are lucky, in person) by millions of Meridians every year.

Questionnaire
Name of Nation: The Allied States of Inutoland
Nation Demonym: Inutolander
Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? Yes, but it goes beyond that.
Does your nation widely practice nudism? If so please explain the manner in which it does Yes. We have no nudity taboo, and the climate in most of the country (tropical rainforest) does not encourage the wearing of a lot of clothing.
Does your nation's culture encourage nudism? If so please explain. To a point. Clothes are worn for decoration rather than for reasons of covering or "modesty". And body paint is traditionally regarded as equivalent to clothes.
Is nudism compulsory in your country under any circumstances? If so please explain There are several rituals of our major religion for which nudity, either of the paint-only kind or the no-clothes-no-paint kind, is compulsory.
How does your nation deal with issues of bodily harm, weather/temperature extremes or hygiene when it comes to nudism? In situations where bodily harm is likely to result from the non-wearing of clothes, protective clothes are worn as a matter of course. This goes also for situations in which contamination must be avoided. As far as personal hygiene, we bathe multiple times a day. It's almost essential in a rainforest climate where few people have A/C.
If your nation has compulsory nudity, are how are visitors to your nation required to respond to your law regarding it?
If your nation has compulsory nudity, how does it affect official settings such as schools, workplaces, government buildings and sports? We do not have compulsory nudity. Visitors to Inutoland should bear in mind, however, that walking around nude in a state of prominent arousal is considered gauche. If you can't keep yourself under control, you should not go nude. Very few citizens have any particular problem with conducting their business naked, semi-naked, or clad only in paint.
How does nudism in your country affect such other public places as restaurants, swimming pools, public transport? For swimming and bathing, nudity is the norm. The social attitudes to nudity - that it has little to do with sex - help. Even businesspeople are often clad in nothing but paint, though business paint is quite conservative compared to some more individualistic designs.
Does nudism in your nation encourage promiscuous sexual activity? Not really. Nudity isn't perceived to have any necessary connection to promiscuity.
Are such things as pornography, strip clubs or lascivious depictions of nudism permitted? They are permitted, but in ways which attempt to prevent the easy access to such images and locations by minors.
Does your nation have any widespread religious practices, and if so how are they affected by the nudism in your country? The majority pagan religion Saweya has no problem with nudity, but other religions have had to make certain adjustments. For instance, the Assyrian Church in Inutoland (the main Christian denomination) frowns on full nudity, but has adapted to the point that toplessness is permissible.

Does your nation merely widely tolerate nudism? Some of us simply do not tolerate it. Others find it a hindrance to not wear clothing. Among our own race, we do not care, as our own bodies are shadowy enough to conceal our genitals, regulate our temperatures, and store things for us.
