Too fitting to retcon.
Anyhow, to show solidarity to survivors of the Artery Conflict, it is illegal to wear red on Friday, on penalty of being converted to gibs. Meanwhile, the color blue is illegal in sectors 7, 13, Sort-033, QQQQ, FhFh-992, and Assert-18235467541278. Those sectors have autocannons built to destroy anything blue. Operating a particle collider during a mullet storm is illegal due to the increased risk of thermonuclear catsplosion. The list goes on, and there's a good chance that everything on this thread is present in the Landfill. Even- no, especially the contradictory laws.

When a citizen is at a bar or tavern, it is illegal to say, "I would like a steamed hot dog." This is due to its history of being a password or keyword for prostitutes within the bars and taverns in the late 1800's. We have just never gotten around to repealing the law.

1. It is illegal to drive a boat on land or a car in the ocean. (We're an island nation and people are stupid. Don't blame us.)
2. It is illegal to start a fire with a mallet. 174 people died in the Arson of New Cardiff, where the arsonist used a mallet to smash a lantern. So...
3. You may not die in Saint James Palace (where the Senate meets), though dying in the Commonwealth House (where the House of Commons meets) is perfectly permissible.

These are kind of odd laws:

It's illegal for a male to be outdoors after sundown without a competent guardian.

Not only military on active duty, but also all public officials are required to wear their dogtags at all times.

Might be viewed as crazy for some Nations, but not in the Republic of South Carolina.

All Male Citizens 18 Years of Age or Older are considered National and/or State Militia. As such, they must possess at least One Semi-automatic or Selective Rifle and 300 rounds of Ammunition with the accompanying Magazines in their Household in case the need arises in time of War. Former Defense Force Personnel are allowed to take home their Service Rifle and Plate Carrier/Ballistic Helmet home unaltered. Failing to do so can result in 15 Years Imprisonment, if found not to be complying.

Past Conflicts:

We have a number of laws which many would call bizarre, but to avoid boring the international community our legislative team have selected what they consider to be the top three:

It is illegal for any vehicle on the highway to be pulled by any animal smaller than a horse.
This dates to the times when horse-drawn carriages were in use, and there were concerns over animal exploitation when donkeys were used and many could not handle the loads they were employed to pull.

It is illegal for any politician to arrive at a session of Parliament without his sword.
An old law never repealed, and broadly considered invalid anyway since the term 'Parliament' was officially replaced in the 1980s by 'General Assembly'.

It is illegal for any person to intentionally travel, or send any object, backwards through time without first obtaining a relevant High Court Warrant.
Passed in the 1980s, this legislation came in response to a popular science fiction movie and was the brainchild of the government's scientific advisors, many of whom had somewhat fertile imaginations.
