    Some banana republic? Or a country like Switzerland that’s probably missing from the list, but not because there aren’t any banned books?

      Not a banana republic. And we simply don’t ban books. Like, some might be banned implicitly because of illegal content, for example a child porn book wouldn’t really fly here, but that’s because of the content, book itself wouldn’t be banned, you would just go to prison for sharing child pornography. I assume I could find other illegal content that would result in an implicit ban.

      But there’s no government body that even can create a list of books that should be banned. Hopefully it stays that way.

      You really think it’s common for free countries to ban books. I’m pretty sure my country of Finland (not "some banana republic) does not have any banned books.
