Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and One Direction. This was done as a result of an online petition that, amazingly, had nearly every citizen on record's signature.

A law banning Toyota cars has never been overturned from the older Nordenkaltian Confederacy, a proposed law would legalize but set near impossible safety standards.

Any American-Made product was banned recently, due to our Chancellor Accidentally getting drunk one night. The original plan was to ban Chinese-Made goods.

There was also a point in time when an online simulator called 'NationStates' was banned, for the simple reason that the King at that point thought that it would lead to a Communist Uprising, as he saw an enormous amount of communist nations. His son lifted the ban.

base ten mathematics. Ever since the great wars everyone has mutated into various forms and the eight digit hand and foot has become predominant, so base ten was banned in favor of hexadecimal, base sixteen.

The Government has banned cartoons, merchandise and any media whatsoever that portrays WB character Pepe le Pew, because it gives an insultingly negative portrayal of our national animal.

It is illegal to sell inflatable holiday decorations in Punkvania. The majority of people find them horrifically tacky. Also each Christmas there have been hundreds of reports of people freaking out and attacking them. It isn't illegal to actually own them or display them, but any store selling them is fined and severely shunned in their community.

Plastic statues of the Emperor. Not only are they horribly tacky but they get his face all wrong. Metal or stone statues are allowed however, provided they meet strict guidelines.

However, leading plastic manufacturers are requesting the Inquisition review the law.

Teflon. It was banned in Idzequitch after a man died trying to eat it. Originally, we were just going to require that the Teflon company simply put a label on it clarifying that it is not edible, but their reputation was already ruined, and Teflon was banned shortly thereafter.

Same here, but we just have standards against cheap, tacky dollar store statues of our Emperor.

Riding a pony (whether earth pony, unicorn, pegasus, or zebra) without their permission. It was originally just considered extraordinarily rude but, now that there's a significant human population, it's actively illegal. The incident that led to this law being passed is never spoken of.

The act of stuffing peas up your nose and then shooting them out with a straw. Reason being because some goofball was playing with his food in the school cafeteria and shot a pea right at the President who just so happened to be visiting the school that day.

Sobriety. You must have a minimum blood alcohol content of .02 at all times. It makes for a very fun society to live in.

Of course. All statues of the Emperor in the Flood are required to be made of solid gold, and sculpted to perfection by the most skilled architects in the Flood.
