In Old Tyrannia, if you say the word 'Communisim' in the same sentence as 'good' you can be executed.
The only exception is the sentence 'Communism is not good' and variants there of.

In Balans, if you are caught doing a form of the 'chicken dance', you are fined and put in jail for 30 days as the dance is considered to be mocking the government, and the national animal, the Roc.

Disagreeing with the fact that 0.9 recurring is equal to 1, and the same with any other vairant of this such as 2+2=3.9 recurring etc. Any idiot who can't understand this simple mathematical rule is banned from working as they are deemed incapable, and are also allowed to be made fun of by school children.

Newspapers are required by law to utilise proper grammar (as defined by the National Institues for the English, Japanese, and Russian Languages of Golgolgot) in every article, and can face hefty fines for every error discovered.

One strange law that was recently struck from the books was that it was illegal for the north-facing entrance of any building (headings 0-50.62° and 320.62-360°) to be made of any sort of wood.

The political culture of Radictistan generally prevents weird laws from being passed but the Constitution of Radictistan is famous for a number of unusual provisions:

    It is unlawful for the government to forcibly transfer money from one specific individual or organization to another specific individual or organization under criminal law. (this effectively prohibits restitution)

    It is unlawful for the government to impose financial settlments between formerly married persons. (this prohibits alimony and child support)

    Parliamentary districts may not be reapportioned except by constitutional admendment.

In the Buxtahatche Confederation, anyone who hits a wild animal with a motor vehicle is required to ensure that the animal dies swiftly; this includes the requirement that the animal be dispatched by the occupants of the vehicle if not killed outright. Failure to comply with this law is punishable by a $1000 fine. Animal Control services can be called to dispatch the animal in an area where such services are available, but a $50 service charge is incurred for the call.

Also, every child enrolled in school is required by law to learn the proper method of handling a firearm, and is tested on firearm safety throughout their school careers: small bore rifle (.22 LR) @ 8 years, large bore rifle (.308 cal.) @ 12 years, handgun (.380 ACP) @ 16 years. This is part of the national Militia Preparation Act which requires all citizens between the ages of 16 and 40 to maintain sufficient skill with a firearm to be called into national service if needs be. Because all citizens are thus schooled in how to properly handle a firearm and the responsibilities associated with them, all crimes committed using a firearm require a sentence of death by flogging if the perpetrator is found guilty.

Finally, in one rather heavily forested district of Clan Coyote's territory, it is illegal to walk along the side of the road without a weapon. This was enacted by a grief-stricken tribal elder (before the current tribal committee structure was enacted) after one of his sons was killed by a rattlesnake while walking home from church one Sunday.
