It is illegal for infants to be circumcised unless it is because of a medical emergency. Males can then choose to be circumcised at age 13.

Male circumcision for children under 11 is banned with the exception of medical reasons, female circumcision is completely banned. As for the Jew/Muslim issue, its never came up as there aren't many of either in Alvaria and Cagwenyn.

Circumcision is very uncommon for either sex. There aren't any laws addressing circumcision specifically, but it would be in contravention of laws prohibiting physical harm of another person if an adult were to try and circumcise a minor.

Circumcision is not a traditional-historic practise in Nedvia. There is no ban on the procedure, as it has not been performed in the past, nor is it performed in the present.

It is extremely uncommon, both due to modern cleanliness habits and resistance to barbaric religious/cultural practices (female genital mutilation is banned for similar reasons).


The same here. Also, children are protected from any form of unnecessary medical intervention (so intersexuals are protected from unnecessary cis-normative surgeries as well. :)

Circumcision banned for infants. It is practiced by most Eminrallians, although there is currently no statistics regarding that.

Marshill has no laws regarding the practice of circumcision. Most Marshillers defer to the opinions of their physicians. While professional opinions differ, the consensus is that it is not necessary, so few males are circumcised. For HIV and STD prevention, 49 out of 50 doctors recommend the usually reliable Marshill Jimmy Hat, which also happens to be a very effective contraceptive.

We also have no specific law regarding female genital mutilation, but rare cases have been prosecuted under the heading of medical malpractice.

Szaunia is a multicultural religion and multi religion nation. The Muslims and Jews here practices circumcision for males. So therefore we allow it to be legal for respect for any religion.

Circumcision of infant males is not particularly common in the Federation, with about 10.9% of native-born males receiving neonatal circumcisions. Circumcision procedures are prohibited in all areas of the nation for females.

Circumcision is limited to those 18 or older with the exception at 16 with parental permission(Body Mutilation Law) or medical necessity. Circumcision is rarely performed in Irarin.

Circumcision is allowed, but heavily discouraged. Our culture sees nothing wrong with the male foreskin and embraces it as part of the natural body that has a function, rather than as anything undesirable to be ashamed of. An estimated 98% of our males are uncircumcised. Some of our medical scientists are researching methods to reverse the effects of circumcision completely using stem cells. Our hope is that if circumcision is no longer permanent, that people who are for or against the procedure can truly have it both ways and enable patients to better control their bodily integrity in the long term.

All mutilation is outlawed for minors incapable of medical consent*. The penalty would be jail and loss of legal guardian status.

*The age of medical consent is not the age of sexual consent, and varies depending on invasiveness and reversibility: Some elective treatments are permissible starting at age eight, minimal surgeries (piercings, foreskin removal, etc.) are permitted starting at twelve, major surgeries (eg. sex reassignment) at sixteen, life-or-death decisions at eighteen.

It is legal, but only with the informed consent of the individual, or if there is a medical need for the circumcision.

The yoshin empire wrote:
Antillae wrote:in Antillae, male circumcision is seen as a tradition in the local Antillean Voodoo religion as well as historically in Judaism and Christianity. It not only legal, but performed on approximately 55% of male infants annually. Female circumcision, as well as circumcision on anyone 12 years or older without their explicit consent is illegal.

Why the double standard?

Socially, male circumcision is ingrained in Antillaen religious culture and has, up until the '70s, been seen as a cultural norm in the nation. Regardless of the cultural views our nation has on circumcision, legally male circumcision is seen to have no larger negative effects or dangers regarding sensitivity in the genital area as opposed to female circumcision, and thus is seen as a safer, more humane cosmetic surgery.

In yoshin culture circumsicion on a minor is viewed in the same light as beating cutting a persons little toes off .

You would be hard pressed to find an uncircumcised male in Cristosalem. It is estimated one in 300 males have not undergone the procedure. It is the social norm stemming from religious tradition.

Male Kindred have sheaths rather than foreskin, so circumcision is not even physical possible. If it were possible, it'd probably be very uncommon because it is extremely creepy to cut part of your penis off without needing to. It's about a million times creepier when you do it to a baby.
