Does YN have any rules about facial hair?

My nation does not have rules about facial hair but having a beard is seen to be a display of importance and manliness.

Those enlisted into the Secret Police or the Military must be clean shaven. Otherwise else, there are no written rules, but that doesn't stop people from being arrested for "Disgusting hairstyles".

Spain, of course, has not any laws against facial hair except one type. If men are found sporting this type of beards, they will most likely be interrogated by the inquisition, thus the state has banned this particular type of beard to be shown among the population. Not only it is anti-aesthetic, but also is used by one of the main enemies of the Spanish nation historically.

Òbrèlfaros, surface-goers, must have facial hair trimmed short to ensure proper mask fit. To a lesser extent this rule also applies to caòfignùscombèlatos, gas and fire fighters. Every person who works with moving machinery is advised to be shaven or trimmed for their own safety. There are no other rules regarding facial hair in the Cities. Some prefer a clean shave, some a close style, some a short tuft, and some a long full beard. The most common styles today are bare-cheeked, usually a goatee with or without moustache.

The armed forces and the law enforcement services do maintain in their regulations that beards and moustaches should be kept neatly trimmed and within a length that allows a fully-enclosed helmet to be worn comfortably.

Other than that, there are no dedicated regulations pertaining to facial hair besides the general expectation to look well-kempt. Most Sidhae prefer either a clean shave or short beards and moustaches, full beards and long moustaches being both impractical and unfashionable. This convention is sometimes flouted by Freelancers, who tend to adopt all sorts of unusual and outlandish hairstyles and fashions to demonstrate their social rebellion.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

Due to physical and genetic differences compared to other orientals, Kangyuli men are capable of growing thick voluminous beards.

Since 285 BC, beards in Zhouranese culture are seen as central to a man's virility, exemplifying such virtues as wisdom, strength, sexual prowess and social status. In Zhouranese traditions, great care would be devoted by dressing the beard, using tongs and curling irons to create elaborate ringlets and tiered patterns. Social status can be displayed by adorning the beard with jewelry. Beards can be shaven or trimmed, although a clean-shaven face is regarded as a sign of effeminacy.

In modern day Zhouranese society, Zhouranese men tend to have five o' clock shadows by leaving a dark stubble hours after shaving. For those who prefer to look a bit sophisticated, they would grow a mustache instead with some going for old-timey mustache styles. As for the more-rural rugged men of Zhouran's countryside, they tend to leave their beards to grow, with some going as far as to shaving only once a year or two. Unlike most nations, Zhouran is one of the few nations where beards and mustaches are permitted to grow. With beards, they must be at a reasonable length in which the enemy cannot grab it. As a result, five o' clock shadows are common. As for mustaches, the length must not exceed the length of one's pointing finger, however letting the mustache grow and styling it in different ways such as the "handlebar", "imperial" or "natural" is permitted for special occasions.

While having a beard is seen as a positive thing in Zhouran, some orientals might have different perceptions. Indeed, within the anti-Zhouranese sentiments of various Asian nations, Zhouranese men with beards reinforces the racist anti-Zhouranese view of Zhouranese people being "barbarians" and "savages".

Our military prohibits facial hair except if special permission is given, usually for religious reasons, as well as many of our police forces. Some businesses also prohibit facial hair, but most don't, and it isn't illegal to have them in public.

While for most of the 20th century, facial hair had fallen out of fashion, various styles are making something of a comeback among young men, especially among fans of hard rock and metal music genres. Full beards are not uncommon among Gaptish Muslims, although most youths in the Muslim community keep either a moustache or a goatee as a minimally divergent way to comply with wajib.

Facial hair except for a moustache no wider than the upper lip is prohibited in the military and in police forces, and generally beards are not permitted in industries that work with food. Exceptions can be made at the discretion of authorities.

No law prohibits facial hair, but Native Argolirennhan are largely incapable of growing substantial facial hair. Because of this absence of hair for many generations, beards are viewed with suspicion, and on foreigners they reinforce stereotypes of barbarism.

No rules, but most men avoid having facial hair. It gives the impression of being a fundamentalist, not to mention it looks bad.

The only law regarding facial hair that applies nationwide is the ban on the type of beard worn by Muslims.

Other than that, it’s relatively free and most men wear at least a moustache.
