In Coruscant, displaying gross incompetence when under government employ is a capital offense. Superiors have the right to execute incompetent subordinates on the spot.

Until recently, you could become Vespertilian MP by providing a sufficient amount of skulls. After a certain gravediggers' plot, it was changed to skulls of personally slain foes. In addition to this, anyone can end the presidential term by defeating the president in official trial of arms. Also, murder is not a crime (there are, however, laws enabling police to work on a case of murder if it meets certain criteria, and the killer can always be sued).

This is for laws generally weird. You didn't mean strange relic laws?

Raumism is extremely illegal but nobody is sure what it is.
It is illegal for any human over the age of 13 or anyone wearing clothes to enter the Jhangalo Adventure Park.
It is illegal for anyone wearing clothes or any human under the age of 13 to enter Azentruo Beach.
It is illegal for men to go naked on Pastarr Island, unless they have been examined and certified to be hung in the image of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. There are no restictions on nude women there.

Greetings from beautiful Toddeslavia!

There are no strange laws in our country, as the Grand Duke and his ministers govern with wisdom and restraint. However, these are a few of the laws that provoke the most comment from outsiders:


- It is illegal to name your dog after any mode of transportation.
- It is unlawful to ever spank your children. However, it is legal (and encouraged) for you to discipline your neighbor's children in whatever manner that you see fit.
- It is illegal to not have a pair of gloves in the glove compartment of your automobile.
- Mothers of twins may not bathe the two infants at the same time.


We thank you very much. Splendide Mendax!

it is illegal for an adult to wear chartreuse AND maroon at the same time while playing hop-scotch when it is exactly midnight.You are not prohibited from doing this before and after midnight but not during. If caught, you will be given an exorbitant fine and that the next day you are required to wear a hot pink kerchief around your neck to signify you committed the heinous act. *note: hot pink kerchiefs are supplied solely by the government, violators will be prosecuted accordingly :rofl:

Dueling is legal in New Rockport, though some city ordinances require duelers to obtain dueling licenses. In order to get a dueling license in Nimisila Falls, one must first complete a 16-hour dueling safety class.

Riflery, marksmanship, and small arms training are standard parts of most public school curricula, but not until 2nd or 3rd grade.

In most states, minors may purchase beverages containing up to 3.2% alcohol without parental consent.

The West Howleyville municipal prosecutor tried to prosecute a rickroller for misdemeanor fraud, but the charge was dismissed.

In Millsburg, it is illegal to keep a pet wolverine in a multiple-family dwelling.

Re: Strange laws of your nation

Postby Phenixica » Sat Jul 11, 2009 6:40 pm

Phenixica has mainly three levels of law. Imperial, Tribal and Colonial here is a example of a weird law for each

A Planet under Imperial Law (Devenis, New Mitra etc) are the only colonies that can use money from the Imperial Treasury in funding Defence

A Planet under Tribal Law (Ruid, Bis etc) you can only be a permanent resident if belonging to the Tribe the planet represents

A Planet under Colonial Law (Mirius, Rend etc) A curfew is on from 9:00PM-6:00AM this old law was from early in the Empire when criminal organizations tried to setup branches in loosely held Colonial Planets. Colonys are infact under Martial Law.

Imperial Law states that consumption of a Alcoholic Beverage that hasnt been approved by the Imperial Consumption Board cannot be drunk with punishment of 2 months imprisonment, only three drinks have the clearance. Fire Water (Weak Vodka), Imperial Wine (Weak Orange Wine) and Phenixican Ale (Strong Ale) the last can only be consumed 3 standard drinks per day. This means most people drink late at night, most people abide by these laws as if you are caught drunk in the middle of the day you will be put in prison for 2 days. A Military Officer cannot drink while in service to the Military, even when on leave but this is poorly enforced.

Tobacco is illegal because of major health concerns, so are many other drugs which do not serve and Medical need

The Capital City of Phenixica every building has to keep to a certain 'look' which is late 1800's to early 1900's victorian look, buildings can only be about 60 stories tall but they are built in the traditional style. Allot of money can be made by becoming a professional stonemason in the capital.

Citizens are given 'Civilian Weaponry' which are weapon designs over 300 years old and can only legally keep enough ammunition to reload 3 times, ammunitions laws are poorly enforced.

In Imperial law which overrides all forms of other law, if you commit High Treason and the Imperial Governments are not that leniant they will give you the punishment of 'Death by Torture' which is the oldest of laws dating back to the original Kingdom of Phenixica before it split into 5 Kingdoms. You are tied to the back of a cart along a select path which has been covered in broken glass, then you are thrown into a pit with the worst of sexual offenders so they can do as they wish for 5 hours without killing you, you are taken along the path again until you reach the local arena where a surgeon is brought in to cut open your skin without causing fatal injury you are then taken away and whipped and electrified for 2 weeks while these wounds heal. Then all your limbs are broken beyond repair before you are put again in the middle of the arena laying down in the center where the local populance shout insults in your direction and then again you are beaten to the brink of death before a government representative arrives to ask "Do you admit your cowardice?" answering yes or no does not matter in what happens last because then your throat is slit and you slowly die. The law hasnt been used since the Ruidians used it on the great historical figure Queen Kathrine of Bis over 1600 years ago, it is not a weird law but for a civilization that classes itself on being of a higher 'class' as other races it is one of the most barbaric of their laws.

The Monarchy still holds complete power in the consitution, the Imperial Senate and Court are only classed as 'Advisors' and are not allowed to overrule a decision by the Monarchy. Allot of these laws are old and are usually mostly ignored, but they have been used in the passed by politicians willing to pull the dust of the rule books for their own needs.

Every subject of the nation must have a two part name: the first must be English-based or biblical, while their second name must be Spanish-based.

Ex. Michael Tomas (His Majesty's real name)

Usually, the Spanish name is used in everyday life, with the full name being used in formal occasions. This decree has been in effect since 1840, when it slowly started due to American influence in the country. The first monarch to have a double name was King Emmanuel IV, born in 1830 (the first member of the royal family to have such a name) who was christened William Ricardo. It has since been commonplace in the royal family. The decree was lifted in 1940, although it has since become a symbol of Riverian nationalism that many people still use this naming convention to this day.

  1. One may not partake of sexual, debaucherous or dissipative actions with any sort of artificial robotic organism, even with both parties consenting, except on Tuesdays. This law is rarely followed except in the more staunchly conservative areas of the Hegemony. This is one of the reasons why those areas have ridiculously low populations.
  2. Any person of legal age for owning a firearm, may, can and is actually encouraged to shoot at any "insane, crazy and otherwise disorderly religious wackos" who trespass on their property. The latter is almost always optional, however. This law is almost always enforced, except in the most disgusting conservative areas of the Hegemony. This is the second reason why no lives in those kinds of places.

Weird laws in the Grand Holy Empire of Imota...

-It is illegal for individuals who are not members of the military to wear clothes that could be easily mistaken for military uniforms.
-It is illegal to send firearms though the national mail service unless they have been dismantled.
-A person who owns and responsibly cares for more than 20 cats and/or dogs may qualify for a tax benefit as an animal shelter.
-Casinos are barred from operating during the 3rd and 7th days of each month.
-If a stolen weapon is used illegally, the rightful owner is considered to be as guilty as the person who committed the crime and may be subjected to the same punishment.
-It is illegal for English-language broadcasters to use the word "stupid" in describing politicians or government policy. Similar words such as "idiotic", "moronic", and "imbecilic" are perfectly legal.

It is illegal to park your zebra, horse, cow, or dog less than 200 feet from any government building. That law was passed 150 years ago after the mayor of Santa OhOh stepped in a large pile of zebra dung, and was never repealed. Oddly enough, it is legal to park your pig less than 200 feet from government buildings.
