edited by DaisyGeekyTrans. We generally make it Restricted if it’s not provided since it’s too nonexistent for it to be fully legal (and we don’t even know if minors would be allowed access) but no law against it means not banned either.

edited by geo833. not banned so it being put as "restricted" doesn't really make sense; there aren't legal restrictions

edited by DaisyGeekyTrans. Restricted might work better since there is a population.
