video games, fast food, and soda..
the reason was that our former enemies produced these things, so, we banned them to avoid "cultural influence".

we have all the transformer saga in our nation, even the movies, but, we put them a disclaimer at the begining that says "this chapter/movie presents distorted facts about the decepticons , so they should not be taken seriously (the facts, not the Decepticons)"

Culture and chinchillas. The government of Zanera believes culture hinders scientific progress, so we do not allow art and some books. Chinchillas were banned because they were linked to some rare diseases in Zanera. Anyone caught housing, holding, caring for, or using chinchillas for experiments are hanged and the chinchillas are properly disposed of.

Cars and all other rolling vehicles. If we see any in our nation, we'll blast them on sight.

You'd ban 'em too, if you had ever encountered ones that were prone to suddenly transforming into enemy robots and blasting you just because they didn't like what country you came from.

Good move! Our military is always ready to stamp out Bay monstrosities from all dimensions and timelines, along with countries that host them.

Some people like Obama are banned from the Territory. It is not so weird for such bans to occur, at least to a Norrisian, because of the people (all politicians) have tendencies to create certain... complications that would annoy the general public. We also ban anything that goes against the teachings and might of the Chucktator, but not only is it not weird to a big degree, it is also widely expected.

We suspect that it's because of all of the propaganda our enemies put out during the Cybertronian Great War. Their programming was full of plenty of lies, but one thing they did get right is that they were our enemies and would attack us and our installations any time they had a chance - usually for no reason other than that we're Decepticons.

Needless to say, that irrevocably harmed our opinion of rolling metal maggots for all eternity even though we actually eradicated the last Autobot and became Victorious about 200 years ago. Our people will always remember: Cars are evil, and trucks are even worse!

Also, fruits from the Philippines are banned, since they are considered "too small", which has become a popular anti-Philippine joke in Zhouran.

Justin Bieber is banned here too, so is Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry is banned, so is most Pop music in general. Rock music is ok, unless it is death metal, which is banned.

Medwedia bans any modern music. So, you can't hear music from styles which were invented after 1950.

A lot of bans on stuff that were in place during the Kingdom of Joseon due to Confucian teachings were lifted with the Social Reformation periods as well as the whole shift in ideology since its founding. However, the one that stuck to this day were: Red silk robes with the specific Imperial Dragon embroidery. It's the robes of the Emperor and supposed to be one of a kind.

And the weirdest one that was passed in 1978 during a very slow day of the National Council: Horses that have eaten fire hydrants are banned from any and all sales. But a horse that has eaten a fire hydrant CAN be ridden. They just can't be bought or sold.

If you're a werewolf, shapeshifting and then masquerading as a guide dog for a person to get a handicap parking space on a Sunday evening.
If you're a human, using the shapeshifting werewolf guide dog fraud trick to get a handicapped parking space on a Sunday evening.

However, it's perfectly legal to do so all day every other day, and all day between midnight and six PM on Sunday.

De facto, people.

After certain radical elements within the ßertaga decided they weren't capable of abiding by (their version of) the Volnotovian honour code.

The other factions (Except the Serdhari) were too cautious of possible repurcussions to protest.

It's wishes were disregarded however when certain other elements decided to 'prohibit' life it self.

They were promptly annihilated.

Hallisperex No.9, a purple-colored food dye, was banned in 1997 after a huge volume of media hype surrounding its supposed blindness-inducing properties lead to a popular campaign by, for lack of a better word, hippies, in the Senate to have it banned. In actuality, it was later discovered that the dye did not in fact cause blindness, but the law has yet to be repealed.
