People here sometimes tell legends of these strange balls, which took place long before the Fursarian Invasion.

Purity balls aren't allowed, due to them being considered degenerate. Anyone that tries to hold them will be sent to the gas chambers, or at least the camps.

It is seen as absolute absurdity because...

...we used to be a nation that held debutante annually to find a suitor for our daughters as soon as they were above age of consent, which was 14 before the socialist regime modernized things and lifted it to 18. We literally looked for partners for our children, if you think around the box for a bit.

We ain't worried about sex before marriage. We are more worried about marriage itself.

It’s completely unheard and forbidden in the Empire, seem as a promotion of pedophilia and child abuse. All practitioners are to be immediately executed, when caught promoting this ‘purity ball’ celebration.

The very notion of such an event is repulsive and unimaginably archaic. The concept of virginity doesn't exist not just in Thama's Ostspeak but in any Asnean language, and the idea that your parents have any involvement in your sexual life beyond perhaps telling you that sex is a thing is considered disgusting.

The practice is nonexistent and would be banned under child abuse laws if it were to pop up anywhere.

Unheard of, for a variety of reasons. Primarily, following the great war, the Party wisely decided to adopt the family model of Region #5 on a federal level, where parents, as such, play no role in the upbringing of their biological spawn. Instead, all children are raised in state-run communal homes with assigned guardians. Virginity is not considered a moral good in the Socialist Worker's Republic, and no guardians expect their charges to uphold such archaic customs.

Furthermore, dress balls of any sort are a sign of bourgeois decadence and would be dealt with most severely if they were to occur.

Sex outside of marriage is a common and mostly accepted part of life in Tchud. Marriage is a social relationship which helps to regulate how property is shared and inherited, not who has sex with who.

Practically unheard of. Normal people do not hold such things nor have they heard of them.

Those who have heard of them are either the weirdos that participate or are normal folk who think the practice is strange and creepy.

"Daddy, I hereby assure you that I'm still a virgin!"
"What? Aisha, you're sixteen! Can't you find a guy who wants into bed with you? Here you have 100 Guineas, now go into the next bar and drink and talk to boys until you have one for the night!"
"But Daddy, I thought ..."

That's about how it works in Ghost Land too, but in all my other nations copulation before marriage is very much frowned upon. Purity balls are unheard of in all four nations, however.

It's a popular thing, but no one from Solandia practices it. It can be seen in comedy films. It's pretty much a joke about fundamentalist Christians.

While Purity Balls are not forbidden, ever since we banned the violent terroristic “Pro-Life” movement, the people who would want to hold such events can’t seem to stay out of jail.

In Akrosian society, people are serially monogamous, that is, they marry someone of either sex for five-year terms, the marriage expires rather than ending in divorce, any children are under joint-custody, and possessions acquired during the marriage are divided as equitably as possible. Remarriage is quick, so alimony is basically non-existent, too, and commissioners rather than courts oversee the division of assets and formal dissolution of marriage. Marriage can be same-sex or opposite-sex, too. Five years are deemed to be the optimal amount of time to reduce marital infidelity and decrease both boredom and tedium.

As at most your first spouse might be a virgin upon marriage, something by no means assured, there is literally no point to a "purity ball" to favor abstinence prior marriage. This must be one of those barbaric foreign practices of countries with more ascetic religious beliefs, and frankly smacks of father-daughter incest, something strictly banned due to the dangers of consanguinity producing deformed offspring.

On the other hand, we've been known to issue citations and fines to people who commit adultery, so we do have our own taboos. The whole system and our moral code is designed with public health in mind and reducing expensive divorce court cases. Monogamy is encouraged during marriage and remarriage is strongly encouraged to reduce the risk of spreading STDs. This does tend to result in more rich people committing adultery than poor people, but then the genetic benefit from their ability to produce wealth passing down to the next generation somewhat offsets the transmission of STDs.

It should be noted that either at forty years of age, or at the end of one's last marriage after forty, whichever comes last, one is deemed to have "retired from social matrimony," and is pronounced single again. Singles are generally encouraged to mate only with other singles of or above the legal age of majority (18), which has the benefit of providing sexual mentoring to young adults, limiting the spread of STDs, and discouraging extramarital affairs. After all, if you know that you'll be free to pursue your wilder fantasies once you retire from the marriage scene, you're more likely to keep it in your pants and on your bucket list than to risk paying fines and receiving citations from the Health Police.

Its recommended that people save their virginity until marriage. This hasn't anything to do with patriarchal control of sexual functions in order to mold society and norms; it's quite simply that the Pharaoh herself didn't wait and that nobody else should have that privilege, ideally. Not that it matters because as a Goddess, Pharaoh Mau is incredibly pure of body and heart and her act cleansed her barbarian partner.

No petty "purity ball" can determine purity; but an individual's heart will be weighed against the Feather of Truth and Justice in the afterlife. Thus there are no needs for such barbarian customs.

Purity balls are a symptom of patriarchy, where men control women's sexuality. They are not technically prohibited, but only by virtue of them being completely out of alignment with Red Martian society.

We have never heard of such a concept in our nation. While we may be a somewhat conservative country, the idea of daughters having to pledge their virginity to their fathers is ludicrous to us.
We are NOT a theocracy
We are a PMT Middle Eastern nation ruled by Princess Jasmine. (Don't ask how we're a Queendom) Our national population is 22 million and our official religion is Islam. Contrary to belief, we are much more liberal than most other Middle Eastern nations.
