PMIRA Ratings System

The PMIRA Ratings System is a ratings system used to determine the minimum age required for books, TV shows, movies, video games, music, and online media. This is how the PMIRA regulates media sales.

Books

 * ALL READERS- The book is suitable for all ages. Reading levels (how hard the book is to read) are determined by the Philosican Department of Academics (PDOA) instead of the PMIRA.
 * ADOLESCENT READERS: The book may contain mild language or mild crude humor.
 * ADULT READERS: The book may contain strong language or strong crude humor.

TV Shows/Movies

 * YOUTH: Content is suitable for all ages.
 * ADOLESCENT VIEWERS: The movie/TV show may contain mild violence, mild language, or mild crude humor, and may be unsuitable for children under 12.
 * ADULT: The movie/TV show contains content unsuitable for anyone under the age of 18.

Video Games

 * AA; ALL AGES: The game is suitable for anyone over 4 (game consoles and computers may not be used by children under 4 due to safety hazards).
 * AA8+; ALL AGES 8+: The game may contain mild cartoon/fantasy violence and/or mild crude humor (such as "gross" jokes)/mild language (such as the words "stupid" or "dumb").
 * AD; ADOLESCENTS: The game may contain content unsuitable for children under 12, such as moderate violence. Any games with realistic violence are automatically rated AD at a minimum.
 * AD16+; ADOLESCENTS 16+: The game may content unsuitable for people under 16. These games contain strong violence, strong crude humor, or strong language. However, content that is too violent, or content referencing alcohol, tobacco, or drugs, is a violation of Philosican law.

Music

 * UNRATED: Music does not contain any bad words.
 * OBSCENITY WARNING: Music contains bad words and is only to be sold to people 16 and older.

Online Media

 * GENERAL VIEWING: Content is suitable for people under 18. These pages may contain mild crude humor, and a notice is not required for pages with this rating.
 * MATURE CONTENT: There may be content unsuitable for anyone under the age of 18. This is for strong language, violent images, or crude humor. However, webpages that are too violent/offensive are prohibited and can get any website that hosts them blocked. Websites with this rating are also placed behind a confirmation as well as a form for confirming the user’s age.
