! style="width: | There are a wide variety of forms of sex work including prostitution, {{wpl|Striptease|exotic dancing}}, and creation of live or recorded media. The nations of [[Ajax|the world]] have many approaches when considering the legality of each of the various aspects of the sex industry. These legal approaches can be generally grouped into categories: prohibitionism, neo-abolitionism, abolitionism, decriminalization, and legalization.

|colspan="5" align="left"| Prostitution is generally considered a secondary job rather than primary work, though there is no social stigma against it being a primary line of work.

|- | |||
|colspan="5" align="left"| Prostitution in Charnea is part of [[Tenerians|Tenerian]], {{wp|Tebu}} and [[Deshrians|Deshrian]] tradition rooted in {{wp|sacred prostitution}}. ''Tameli Talyat'', Ninvite religious prostitutes, hold a high status in society as a pseudo-clerical order with many associations and organizations which preserve traditions of this proffesion and preform self-regulation, screening of candidates, clients and measures to prevent disease. Consequently, prostitution has been legal in the State of the Ninva since its inception. Male sex workers have been subject to long standing taboos in Ninvite society, but are increasingly accepted and have always been fully protected under the law. | |||

Much of southern and central Ostrozava has legalized, albeit highly regulated prostiution, with professionals requiring additional identification and a larger bureaucratic signature. Others, such as the leftmost Subprimes of Vamo, Stratosko, Baderia, and Rheigen, have effectively decriminalized punishment for casual trading of sex acts while criminalizing its organization, without integrating it into local government. Many Subprimes have requirements for sex workers to unionize. | |||

This treatment ranges from the relatively hands-off approach of Bluwaald, which largely only imposes basic health-and-safety regulations beyond federal minimums, to the strongly-regulated cooperative brothel system of the DAR, to the system seen in the new Southern Republic of Onneria where prostitution is essentially regulated into non-viability as a formal profession. | ||

| | |colspan="5" align="left"| Prostitution has been legal in Tyreseia since the 1970s. All sex work is regulated under under the euphemistically-named Aphrodite League, which acts as a self-regulatory union body of all sex workers. The union exists to avoid pimping (which is strictly illegal), and to ensure standards of quality and consent. Identification, and a negative sexually-transmitted infection test, must be furnished before hiring a sex worker. Sex workers reside in communal housing, which is maintained by the union through their work, and exists to ensure security for the sex workers. Sex workers are regularly tested for STIs, and are forbidden from sex work if they contract one. Instead, the League provides medical costs and alternative employment. Additionally, following a syphilis outbreak in 1995, the League may invoke its right to perform contact tracing on behalf of the Tyreseian People's Commissariat of Health. | ||

Performers, like all sex workers, must be registered members of the Aphrodite League, with "amateur" content strictly disallowed for most Tyreseian websites or physical distribution. Additionally, vendors must be able to provably ascertain that all performers and the customer of a pornographic piece are above the age of 18, with some websites opting for requiring images of government identification from all parties involved. Like with all sex workers, STI testing is frequent; if a performer contracts a disease, the League will pay medical compensation and reassign them to an alternative line of work, sometimes performing contact tracing to prevent the further spread of the disease. Theaters that display pornographic films are not allowed to display non-pornographic films and vice versa; pornographic theaters must also clearly mark themselves as such to prevent any potential confusion. Pornography itself has a hazy definition under Tyreseian law, with definition usually falling to the Aphrodite League to self-police. | |||

Tyreseia | |||||
Pornography is legal and regulated in Tyreseia. Performers, like all sex workers, must be registered members of the Aphrodite League, with "amateur" content strictly disallowed for most Tyreseian websites or physical distribution. Additionally, vendors must be able to provably ascertain that all performers and the customer of a pornographic piece are above the age of 18, with some websites opting for requiring images of government identification from all parties involved. Like with all sex workers, STI testing is frequent; if a performer contracts a disease, the League will pay medical compensation and reassign them to an alternative line of work, sometimes performing contact tracing to prevent the further spread of the disease. Theaters that display pornographic films are not allowed to display non-pornographic films and vice versa; pornographic theaters must also clearly mark themselves as such to prevent any potential confusion. Pornography itself has a hazy definition under Tyreseian law, with definition usually falling to the Aphrodite League to self-police. | |||||
