National Movie Ratings Commission

The National Movie Ratings Commission is a commission of officials who designate official ratings and guidelines for the film, music and video game industry in the Union of Everett. The NMRC has the authority under Everetti law to designate official content ratings for productions, which designate who is legally allowed to purchase the specified content and in theaters, who is legally allowed to view such content. The commission was established in 2008 to re-regulate the media in response to a growing culture of violence, racism, discrimination, sexual deviancy and general perversion depicted in the film and music industries.

Film Industry
In 2008 the Commission was established in response to the infamous Saw movie series. The movie and its six sequels depicted repetative violent scenes of human torture and abuse. The series became popular, which disturbed government officials including President Spencer. To counter the growing interest in violent gore movies, the Commission designated a new rating guide for movies which included the XR rating. Extremely Restricted designates a movie as too violent or perverse to being released to the public.

Music Industry
The music industry in recent years has also become regulated through NMRC ratings. The rise of gang culture and general violence as well as discrimination and hate speech forced the regulation of music. Several musicians have been banned from the country including a Neo Nazi children's duo, Prussian Blue (for racism) and the infamous Insane Clown Posse (for promotion of violence and criminal behavior).

Music Rating System
 * EC: Explicit Content. EC ratings designate an album or specific song as containing bad language.
 * RC: Restricted Content. RC ratings designate an album or song as banned from sale. Most music with RC ratings contain blatantly racist, sexist or discriminatory lyrics, promotion of violence, rape or crimes against general or specific people(s).

Gaming Industry
The video gaming industry is the least regulated. Only one game has been banned from the Union of Everett, a Japanese game in which the mission is to brutally rape women and young girls. Most games follow a general ratings guideline, which was set originally by the ESRB.
