The beauty of people in your nation?

[Bolden]

When it comes to people's appearance, how important is beauty in your nation? Are cosmetic procedures illegal or legal in your nation? If legal, how much money is spent on cosmetic procedures?

What is the general idea of attractiveness in your nation? In other words, what physical appearance qualities (such as the styling of hair or so) does the majority of people in your nation find attractive?

[TaQud]

Beauty is not important in TaQud unless it is in a beauty pagent.

[Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics]

Cosmetic procedures are fairly common since transexuality/transgenderism is ok with most people.

[Calorax]

Beauty is quite important in Calorax and cosmetic procedures are legal, but not common. The Caloraac tend to be a good looking, fashionable people.

[Hofstadter]

We do use light makeup, and the people are generally very fashionable and have natural beauty.

[New Event Horizon]

The personalization of one's shell is ubiquitous onboard the New Event Horizon. Biomods can change skin, hair, or eye color or reshape the body into whatever the user sees fit. Synthmods are biological components grafted onto an organic component, and can include anything from sex changes to a prehensile tail. Nanotechnology let a user change their facial features or interface with machinery at will. Cybermods are non-organic augmentations, and are limited only by practicality. The supposed "standard" of beauty moves faster than ever, and is impossible to maintain in realspace. Thus, most people make their own standard of beauty. Beauty is in the sensory receptors of the individual infomod.

[Vampirum]

Beauty is a somewhat major thing in Vampirum. Seeing how vampires are immortal, they take their appearance very serious. Some would call them vain, but when you're stuck living for eternity in one body you'd be pretty self-conscious too. But it's also a bit ludicrous since, after a person receives their vampiric powers, they age very slowly until they simply stop aging all together. People who are bitten don't age at all.

Cosmetic procedures aren't done in Vampirum at all. There's no point considering the toughness of a vampire's skin and it's inability to be tampered with in such a way.

[Vistulange]

Cosmetic products are banned in Vistulange. They promote selfishness and self-importance, which is entirely against the doctrine of the Party. As such, beauty has no role in society, due to centuries of conditioning by the Party.

[Novus Kanaan]

Kanaanites look sort of like Persians, which i personally think are beautiful. Cosmetics arent banned (in all parts) but frowned upon. Hair is mostly an attractive feature.

[Ko-oren]

Beauty is not necessarily important to people themselves, but there are typical standards in architecture, housing and clothing. It usually is minimalist, symmetrical and colorful.

[NVADF]

It varies greatly. Some people spend large amounts of money on special surgeries, but there are still plenty of deformed mutants who do not care what they look like and who refuse to use surgery to make them look like normal people. Also, the definition of beauty varies greatly depending on who you ask, so those mutants can probably find people who view them attractive anyways. Some people even purposely modify their DNA to look like something completely different. As you can imagine the furries LOVE this new technology. (shivers)

These guys?

[Vesuvia]

In Vesuvia almost everybody is clean and well dressed by a young age because the yearly income is high and like all northern nations fashion is important.Almost everybody has a strong and nice body too because nowadays ,in our country working out is a trend.

[Fatatatutti]

When it comes to people's appearance, how important is beauty in your nation?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everybody is beautiful to somebody.

Are cosmetic procedures illegal or legal in your nation?

Why are some nations so obsessed with making things illegal? You can't prevent something from happening by making it illegal.

If legal, how much money is spent on cosmetic procedures?

Fatatatutians are notoriously frugal (cheap) and not much inclined to spend money on frivolous things like cosmetics.

What is the general idea of attractiveness in your nation? In other words, what physical appearance qualities (such as the styling of hair or so) does the majority of people in your nation find attractive?

There are no "general ideas" in Fatatatutti. Everbody has individual ideas. As the saying goes, wherever there are two Fatatatutians, there are three opinions.

There is no majority, only minorities.

[Miyager]

Attractiveness here is found typically to be associated with long hair in women, buzz-cut's all the way to mushroom style hair cuts for men, with straight and curly textures being found most attractive. The most attractive thought of skin tones range from pale to olive, while light eyes are considered more attractive as well. Lighter shades of everything really are the usual stereotype of attractiveness here. Average to slightly tall heights are found preferable, as is skinny to average weight.

[Waspeaters]

Waspeaterians aren't known for being particularly attractive people, but we are generally concerned with our appearances, to the point of vanity. Cosmetics are widely used (less so by men) but surgery is quite rare.

[Kostahn]

The people of Kostahn are rarely considered beautiful, often posessing powerful muscles and ranging from 6'6 to 7' on average. This combined with their heavily tanned skin, abundance of body hair and somewhat Neanderthal-based features results in an imposing, primal look, they rarely win beauty contests unless they are among other Kostihtes.

Cosmetics are not banned, although your neighbor may dislike it. If they own a gun and are VERY opinionated, then they might shoot you. 'Course, if you had a gun you could shoot them back.

[Sakarnen]

Beauty, while not seen as something truly important to have, is treated much like a work of art- something to look at and admire; it is accepted that not everyone is (conventionally) beautiful just as it is accepted that not everyone is a great artist, and those who are not beautiful are not worse off.

The traditional Sakarne ideal of beauty involves naturalness; heavy makeup is generally seen as unattractive and to an extent as cheating or disguising yourself, as makeup should only be used to enhance your features, not to cover them. As for body types, a traditionally beautiful woman would be short and curvy if not chubby, and should ideally wear dresses that enhance said curves, while men would be tall and slim yet muscular. Really short hair is generally considered as somewhat unattractive for both genders, and there is a slight bias towards long-haired men.

[New Vudnia]

Both men and women wear make-up to correct blemishes. Other than that, Beauty isn't stressed. Cosmetic procedures are only underdone in extreme cases (Such as if someone had their nose cut off in an accident)

[Kwadai]

Make up isn't legal, but beauty is very important

[The Ecumene]

Beauty is seen as something important within the Ecumene, by that we mean true beauty, inner beauty. Naturally the woman of the Ecumene fit the old world idea of beauty, clear of blemishes, no fat, etc. Men are muscular, and also clear of natural blemishes. This is mostly do to a few early centuries of genetic engineering and several different geas activating in those time frames, the basic goal was to make both men and women seem angelic.

However this is outer, this is common that each woman is unique but shares the same pure face, and each man is fit, no skinny. The true focus of a person is their character, the personality they bring to the table. Everyone already sees the Human race as being attractive (Suck it Asari) but there's more to our views on life.

So in short, beautiful, angelic people, would make today's people stare in awe (And think of other stuff.) but they don't care, they just focus on what matters to them, its average.

[Zarodia]

How important is beauty?
Not very. An extreme lack of beauty is cause for disgust, as due to the genetics of the Origin-species the only possibly ways to be naturally hideous all involve severe genetic defects, however besides this, so long as one looks hygienic and healthy, beauty is generally not important at all.

Are cosmetic procedures illegal or legal?
They are technically legal, however they are almost never performed. The Origin-species naturally has much less physical variation than most species, which, in combination with a few other factors, makes for a lack of people unsatisfied enough with their appearance to wish to undergo most such procedures.

General idea of attractiveness:
Attractiveness is generally measured by a few physical traits:
-Skin color: pale skin is attractive, with snow white being the theoretical ideal.
-Height: being taller than the norm is generally considered attractive, although this isn't as universal as skin color.
-Eyes: large eyes are considered attractive, up to a point. The ideal size is more of a comparison than an absolute-they should be larger than the mouth in a relaxed neutral expression.
-Nose: smaller is attractive, again up to a point. The ideal is just wide enough to cover the space between the eyes, and sticking out less than a finger's thickness from the mouth.
-Mouth/lips: smaller mouths are considered attractive, to a point, with the ideal being more of a comparison than an absolute-larger than the width of the nose, but smaller than the width of an eye. Attractive lips are thin but still visible, with the lower more full than the upper.
-Hair: while style preferences vary, cleanliness is required for attractiveness, and most prefer well-kept hair, regardless of style.
-General fitness: a healthy and well kept body is necessary for attractiveness, and although ideals in this category are not as universal as skin color, the general preference is for a body with visible but not extremely prominent musculature and little to no excess fat.

Unnaturally-colored hair and/or eyes are also considered attractive, however this is more due to the implications of it that of any actual physical preference: only mages can naturally have hair and/or eye coloration that is different from the norms of white and pale green or violet respectively, thus making these characteristics "attractive" due to their association with mages.

These ideals hold true regardless of gender, age, or position, with the obvious exception of young children for some requirements, such as body type.

Same views when it comes to my nation.

[Baravia]

Women occasionally wear makeup, but Baravians consider beauty as in what you wear.

[Alyska]

When it comes to people's appearance, how important is beauty in your nation?

Most Alyskans will tell you that a persons inner beauty is much more important that outside appearance. However, judging from the amount of money spent on cosmetics and plastic surgery, it appears that most people do in fact put a great deal of effort on their appearance.

Are cosmetic procedures illegal or legal in your nation?

They are perfectly legal, though widely seen as decatant. However, they are very popular with upper class women.

If legal, how much money is spent on cosmetic procedures?

I don't have the figures in front of me, but suffice it to say it exceeds the GDP of some small countries.

What is the general idea of attractiveness in your nation? In other words, what physical appearance qualities (such as the styling of hair or so) does the majority of people in your nation find attractive?

There is a great deal of variation between individual preferences, but in general a healthy complexion, clear skin, symmetric facial features, and lack of obvious physical deformities is prized among both men and women. For men, a rugged/athletic build is considered desirable, while with women fair skin is considered particularly attractive. And while being overweight is not considered attractive for either sex, neither is an unhealthy degree of thinness, and many men are attracted to women with voluptuous figures.
