Ardenarai is discriminatory and actively purges anything it dislikes. The higher one goes up in the social hierarchy, the more leeway one could find in saying what he or she may want.

While seemingly restrictive, the powers of censorship are rarely used and often are regarded with disdain. There is no permanent committee established to coordinate censorship efforts, so any censorship usually has to be directly forced through the legislature. This results in a sort of pseudo-free speech system, where one's freedom of speech is threatened mostly by outside forces. However, individual enforcement officers have the power to take care of any cases that fall under sedition or movements to violence. |
- ↑ In accordance with Metamoran discrimination laws, hate speech is permitted to two groups only: The religious and those convicted of crimes heavier in weight than a fine. Inversely, hate speech towards atheism is usually punished much more harshly than other types.
