Margartian Unified Content Ratings Board

The Margartian Unified Content Ratings Board (known as MRB) is a governmental organization that rates movies, TV shows, home videos,video games,and novels in Margarita.

Overview
Before January 1, 1990, the island nation of Margarita relied on the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rating system to classify movies. However, in 1989, the Margarita government saw the need to establish its system to better cater to its citizens. As a result, legislation was passed to create a unique and independent rating system for movies and home videos in Margarita.

In the years that followed, this new system proved to be successful, and the government decided to expand its scope. In 1993, the rating system was extended to include video games, ensuring that parents could make informed decisions about the games their children played. By 1997, the system had evolved even further, incorporating television shows to provide comprehensive guidance for parents and guardians.

The Board is responsible for determining the appropriate rating for a film, home video, TV show, or video game. To do this, the MRB members hold a vote and collectively decide on the most suitable classification. It is important to note that, unlike some other countries in the Dream Fiction universe, the MRB does not possess the legal authority to demand cuts or alterations not ban films.

To make it easy for consumers to identify the assigned rating, Margarita requires that the rating be displayed prominently on the packaging of home videos and video games. This includes placement on the front cover, the spine, and the back of the packaging. Additionally, the back cover must also provide a clear explanation of the reasons behind the assigned rating, allowing parents and guardians to make well-informed decisions about the content they allow their children to watch or play.
