Evillan Age Rating System

The Evillan Age Rating System (Evillan: Di Åvillan Alde Vådreun System), usually abbreviated as EARS (Evillan: AAVS), is one of the official media rating systems used in The Republic of Evilla, responsible for the rating and censorship of video games, movies, television shows and books/manga. It was created in 1947 to protect children from content deemed unsafe to their viewing. EARS also uses warning tags for things such as violence, photo sensitivity, and in-game purchases.

History
EARS was introduced in 1947 when the Evillan Media Censorship and Rating Act was passed. At the time it only rated television shows and movies. EARS began rating books in 1968, and video games in 1993.

Warning Tags
Similar to PEGI, EARS uses warning tags, all of which (except the Online Game and In-Game Purchases Warning Tag) were introduced in 1985
