One problem with such expansive bodies is that different parts of it are likely to experience the force of gravity differently. It is also a massive target for asteroids that are pulled towards it by reason of its massive mass.

Why?
The only uses I could see would be industrial fires or something like that. And while I am well aware of the risks of fighting fires, I also know that if you need to retreat into an armored vehicle, somewhere you went very wrong.
A remote-controlled vehicle would be more useful:

Very interesting...I have got an idea: the Firefighting Tank.
Basically an old military vehicle that has it's cannon modified to shoot water mixed with chemicals that help suffocate the fire, is painted red and coated in a fireproof material.
APCs which have been modified in similar ways can be used to transport firemen to and evacuate them from dangerous areas such as burning forests.
And most importantly, it is a way to use obsolete military technology.

In RN we take a pretty libertarian stance where pretty much everything goes as long as you're 16/18 or over (I'm still undecided) and there is no "sin tax" as we don't really have free public healthcare. You're allowed to have pretty much anything, indoors and outdoors (except for explicit restrictions in public spaces such as government institutions, etc. and wherever the owner of private property demands). So it's basically up to a pub/bar's owners if they allow smoking, drugs or whatever inside or not. There are no special licenses or "alcohol serving hours" or some such involved. Also, unless you're causing a nuisance like e.g. tripping over pedestrians or interfering with road traffic it's legal to be publicly intoxicated. If it's obvious that you could endanger others in this state (e.g. by being heavily intoxicated on the side of the road or something where you may walk into running traffic and cause a crash) you may be forced to leave by the police.
It is still illegal, however, to drive or operate machinery on public property whilst intoxicated, for obvious reasons. Also, government employees can't be intoxicated on duty. As far as private employees are concerned, it's up to their employer if they allow it or not as long as there is no potential of harm to the public (e.g. it would be dangerous to passersby to allow construction workers to be high on the job in a crowded city center) .
There are no real legal standards for the quality of such products, other than, as a seller you are legally obligated to be truthful as to the nature and quantity of what you are selling. So if, for example, you're selling something as 1 liter of 5% alcohol beverage then it must be exactly that. If it isn't, you're liable to pay financial damages to the victim as well as a fine to the government. If your deception causes, or has the potential of causing physical or mental harm (as opposed to simply financial damage) then it stops being an economic, non-felony crime and starts falling into felony offense territory, meaning that it can, and most probably will carry a prison sentence.

Can the hivemind explain toasters to me?
Does the electric consumption of a toaster directly affect its performance in terms of how fast it heats food or is it possible to play with the design of the thing to make them more or less efficient for the same amount of watts? It doesn't seem like it should be but maybe I don't know anything.
I... am wondering about appliances in my nation.
