Benacian Censorate

Deriving its authority from the Office of the Lord High Censor, who is himself directly appointed by the Congress of Chryse, the Benacian Censorate has the remit of counting all souls in the Benacian Union.

Remit & additional duties

• 1700 Edict for the Improvement of Culture: The exposure of subjects of the Benacian Union to foreign cultural artefacts is a matter within the purview of the Benacian Censorate, reporting to the Lord High Censor and the Congress of Chryse, and the introduction of any form of memetic contagion is something to be robustly warded against. Duties include:
  • The issuance of Content Creation Licences to vetted authors, composers, directors, producers, screenwriters, singers, songwriters, and users of the Benacian Data Network;
  • The issuance of the nihil obstat and imprimatur declarations that a work is free of doctrinal or moral error and can be released for publication;
  • The collection of dues, fees, and fines, from licenced Content Creators;
  • The persecution and eradication of unlicensed content creators and their works.
