Map Editing adjustments:
-Instead of individual blocks to create maps, a number of preset “landforms” will be available for users to create their own maps.
-Multiples of the same object, not including geo blocks or characters, cannot be placed next to or on top of each other.
-Character/map names and descriptions will be randomized.

They say this is do to regulations and laws or something. I am confused. Why would a create a map with blocks be an issue with laws, as well as the same object/character being next to each other? The names I can maybe see, with copyrights, but LBP gets away with that...

I suppose, but why wouldn't they have some where to regulate? Wouldn;t building penis's be an issue in japan too?

US = less mature than Japan? idk

I have no idea.

No, not really. In Japan that kind of thing isn't considered inappropriate to nearly the same degree; shows for children commonly have jokes involving characters flashing each other and whatnot.

That's very true. If we're going along this line of assumption that we're being hindered by censorship, people can't really use "Japan allows it" argument because Japan is Japan, the US is the US, and so on and so forth. Its not a matter of maturity but just how a country (or at least its governing body sees such matters.
