In some countries, you may find a unit of the national Self Defense Forces on extended leave from in order to serve in an elite mercenary unit led by a Buddhist monk.

In some countries, you may find an anarchist commune which sells the best organic cannabis, grow excellent Daistallian Naga chilis (hottest in the known worlds of NationStates), and operate a highly profitable casino.

In some countries, you may find people sitting down to a game more complicated than Dragon Poker, Cripple Mr. Onion, and Fizzbin - combined.

In some countries, you may find people living in orbital space stations.

• Solstices and equinoxes (which do not always occur on the same calendar date) are statutory holidays.
• Tax evasion is sometimes legal.
• There is no such crime as "treason".
• Church of Scientology is outlawed even though free zone Scientology is OK (but not particularly common).
• Use of HTTP/HTTPS/HTML is discouraged.
• Humans (and only humans) with more than twelve children have to pay extra taxes (other species, as well as humans with less than twelve children, are exempt from this law).
• Feb.29 is a statutory holiday and it is illegal for banks to process any transactions on that day (although it is still legal to purchase stuff at a store by cash and so on, or to receive bank statements, etc). It is also illegal for a cheque to be dated Feb.29 (although you may still write a cheque on that date, but it must be post-dated or dated for an earlier date, and cannot be processed on Feb.29).
• Dec.25 and Easter (same rules as the Roman Catholic Church) are both statutory holidays although Dec.25 has no official name and the rule to calculate Easter is copied as a part of our law (the name "Easter" is used simply because the date changes so often it should have a name).

Only in the TBRE is cannibalism legal.
Only in the TBRE do we drive on both sides of the road.

Here too it usually (not always) is.

In some countries, you may find a family unit consisting of 3 uplifted dolphins, 2 sentient bats, a talking cow, 6 AIs, 4 sentient octopuses, 5 sentient Lynxes, and 17 assorted humans.

I suppose this is possible here, but I doubt it is common, and I personally have never observed such a thing in this country.

In some countries, you may find people sitting down to a game more complicated than Dragon Poker, Cripple Mr. Onion, and Fizzbin - combined.

I like that! By now I have played a few times with other members of this factbook department, and will soon post a message on the NTRS's NNTP about it.
