But that's not the point. Take 20 girls from each country who are considered by some popular standard to be beautiful, and measure variation. Since I'm assuming plastic surgery is not that widespread in DPRK, the results would be interesting, even if not very useful.

But you aren't just measuring variation in the population. You're also measuring strictness of beauty standards.
No, we just measure variation according to some algorithm. The beauty is subjective based on standards, and the results would definitely be biased by that subjectivity.
