Banned books in Fratanica

There is no federal or provincial statutory body or legal statute which governs banned books, as literature falls under the freedom of speech. The Supreme Court has upheld that literature falls under this freedom on several occasions, and is therefore unalienable. However, books have either been removed from distribution or blocked from school curriculums at the local and provincial levels, using provincial and local obscenity statutes for justification. The subject of banned books is highly controversial within Fratanica, and opens up a lot of debate regarding personal freedoms and speech regulation.

Much of the advocacy for banned books stems from Fratanica's group-inspired and locally abundant political culture. As a result, negative public sentiment of certain books at the local levels can spur into politically-charged public activism, pressuring the different levels of government for the removal of certain books and the distribution of them as well.

There are several organizations dedicated to fighting literature censorship and ensuring media freedom. The most prominent national organization dedicated to this is the Fratanican Literature Access Association, which has been involved in multiple high-profile cases regarding governmental pressures.
