I cant believe this tweet is how I find out

Edit: Now that we're talking about it, look. There is all the countries ratification dates, along with considerations for their laws.

And you can check the convention here.

Edit 2: For those in the US who want to check their state's laws compliance to the convention, there is this site.

Edit 3: The map source btw. Its from wikipedia.

Thank you people in the notes for the info and image desc.

Just read a perfectly fine fanfiction that took place in Germany but something that stood out to me was a chapter where the characters walk across a field and is approached by the farmer yelling at them to get off his land.

I’ve come across this plot point a few times and I feel like it’s worth telling writers that most of Europe has some version of Right To Roam. The laws aren’t the same in every country but generally you’re allowed to walk and rest on private property like fields and forests so long as you don’t destroy crops or leave trash, but not gardens or fenced in areas. Depending on the country you also have the right to pick mushrooms, berries, nuts and other edible things in forests but without chopping trees down or breaking branches. The owner of the land might put up a sign asking you to follow certain guidelines like no horses or keeping your dog on a leash but but there’s no real repercussions to not following the rules besides the owner eventually fencing the area off so people can’t enjoy it anymore.

I’ve personally walked around on a field while the farmer was harvesting potatoes with his big ass machine and collected the leftovers while my dog was trotting calmly besides me and he looked straight at me and didn’t care one bit because Denmark also has an old tradition of letting people collect what’s left as a form of charity (for my fellow Danes, that’s what “rev vi marken let, det er gammel ret, fuglen og den fattige skal også være mæt” means in the song Marken Er Mejet) This is just a tradition and not a law however so it depends on the farmer.

The very north of Europe like Norway and Sweden even give people the right to put up tents and camp on other people’s private land (except gardens and such). Again, the laws vary from country to country but as a rule of thumb you have more right to roam the further north you go and less the further south but if you want to write in a specific country look up the laws there.

[facts-i-just-made-up]

Do you have any facts about the law?

Mark Twain supposedly once said, "People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made."

I personally found this to be untrue. I do love sausage, and find that their manufacture is a testament to the history of humankind's complex, violent, and delicious relationship to the world's other inhabitants. Though horrifying, it is the meat that feeds us. Though impressive to behold the efficiency of the techniques, it is the capitalist machine that grinds us away too. Yet it keeps us alive.

The world is not all flowers and sunsets, no- The beauty of the beast too is the beauty of this place, of us ourselves, and we must not shy away from it when we consider where and what we are.

So Twain is wrong about people who love sausage. For people who respect the law I have no clue. I have no respect for authority or propriety and follow only Khornurgslaneentch, God of Chaos.

[philosophybits]

“Law of nature” a superstition. — When you speak so rapturously of a conformity to law in nature you must either assume that all natural things freely obey laws they themselves have imposed upon themselves — in which case you are admiring the morality of nature — or you are entranced by the idea of a creative mechanic who has made the most ingenious clock, with living creatures upon it as decorations. — Necessity in nature becomes more human and a last refuge of mythological dreaming through the expression “conformity to law”.
