(Most of of these laws are not enforced, but some still are.)

Spitting out the window of a train is an infraction punishable by five Skillets.


Mocking someone else's religion in public, even if it isn't the state's reccomended religion (Southern Baptist Christianity), results in a five hundred skillet fine to the person being mocked. However, Pastafarians, parody religion believers, and those who adhere to Discordianism and the Pink Unicorn are not shelted by this law.


You must have a permit to sing excissively loud in public squares, and these permits must be worn around the neck at all times while performing.


Any human wishing to be a stripper must sign a contract with a Southern Baptist church vowing that they will not stip past their lingerie, and they their lingerie will fully cover everything. All female strippers must wear a bikini underneath everything else, and revealing anything private when practicing stripping results in a permanent revoke of the license. It pretty much ruins the stripper business, which was the exact intention. It is also, by law, legal to whack an unlicensed stripper with a shovel.


Purposely vomiting on a turtle's shell results in a variable fine depending on the jurisdiction, though the capital's fine is the highest, with 10,000 skillets.


You must have a permit to be in a barbershop quartet, and your quartet must be on the national registry of barbershop singers. This is because the Chancellors tend to seek out quartets for public and international gatherings.


Humans mocking other species about them having opposable thumbs results in twelve hours in prison, a misdemeanor.


If a bomb shelter is to be built on a church's ground, a ten foot tall cross must be erected to the top-right corner of the entrance.


It is illegal to cross the border whistling the theme tune to "Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things".


Singing "I've Been Working on the Railroad" when not on a train is illegal.


It is ilegal to hang a toaster from a doorknob, unless the doorknob is colored green, then it is perfectly okay.


Flying a Nazi flag on your front yard is a felony and can be punishable by government seizure of the offender's property through eminent domain.


Purposely singing bad in the state's reccomended religion's church was once punishable by the repossesion of the criminal's car for seven days. This law was recently contested by the courts, and repealed. It was mainly used in the days of the automibile ban.


Mispronouncing the word "Chancellor" when speaking to a government employee is punishable by a night in jail.


You can not give a mushroom a wedgie on Sundays. It is unknown WHY this is a law, because a mushroom can't wear pants, much less undergarments.


It is illegal to carry a boombox on your left sholder on a Sunday.


If a human flips the bird to another creature, the human must pay the "victim" fifteen Skillets in compensation, an infraction.


It is illegal to eat the national flag. Doing so is punishable by a six month prison sentance, UNLESS the flag was eaten on Easter Sunday, in which it is punishable by a year's sentance. That being said, any mistreatment of the flag is already a punishment.


You must have a permit to wash a Baptist church's windows. This permit must be renewed annually.


Drinking alcohol on any religion's church grounds is illegal. That being said, drinking is already illegal, thanks to Prohibition.


Selling cigarettes, unclean magazines, alcohol, and Bibles are illegal on Sundays. Why Bibles? No one really knows. Why alcohol and cigarettes when both are banned every day? No one knows.


The Chancellors, by law, are required to pardon seven criminals every Easter Sunday.


National Kiss Up to Your Boss Day (a real holiday, November Twelth) is federally observed. All schools are closed on that day. So too is World Turtle Day, May 23rd.


It is illegal to make fun of a Chancellor's tounge on the Chancellor's birthday. Doing so results in the criminal writing a written apology. So far, Chancellor Marvin Weirdidea (the only Chancellor WITH a tounge) has recieved ninenteen letters of apology in his reign.


If a human bows, and his hat falls off, the human must pick up his hat within ten seconds, or the hat becomes the property of whoever grabs it next.


Internet users who raid, disrupt, attack, or otherwise harm other users for their own merriment (also known as "For the Lulz"), regardless of species, are, by law, classified as Domestic Terrorists. (Of course, the Internet is banned in TurtleShroom.)


Selling cookies door-to-door is considered soliciting. Like soliciting, it's not illegal.


It is considered "unholy" to purposefully collide with a door.


All creatures classifying themselves as "emo" must have a license to practice their doctrine. For "emo" humans, wearing tight-fitting jeans is illegal. Emoists who are not licensed will be bound and forcibly given a bath, with emphasis on cleaning their hair, if they have it. The license must be renewed every four years.


The Chancellors must wear their traditional costume (crown, sash, etc.) at all times in public, as do clerics and most other public jobs, particularly bureaucrat-judges.


Pastors, clergy, or church leaders can not breakdance on a Sunday, though they are free to do so every other week.


TurtleShroom's military issues a pamphlet to all of its troops, regardless of species, describing how to properly perform the waltz. This law was passed by a rougue legislator "for the Lulz". In compliance with other laws, said leader was deported.


July 9th is "Hotel Employee Appreciation Day", July 30th is "Roleplay Day", August is "National Bagel Month", September is "National Toaster Month", and the second week in October is "National Spaghetti Week".


A handshake between two humans is as legally binding as any contract when done before a judge.


If a creature declares bankruptcy, all debts are nullified, as is normal. However, if the creature rebounds, impersonal promises to return money (like IOU) can be reinstated and rebound in a court of law.

You can't say Communism, or death to the President, or an iron fist. Otherwise law says you can be killed by anyone that sees you do it.----same for Democracy. Namabia is a free state and is ruled by a Congress and President. Each year each party gets a run for its money.

So the stupid part is if you say Communism(or other form of gov.), death to the President, or an iron fist. Otherwise you can be killed without knowing.

No one can work on Saturdays,Sundays, and holidays. If you do you could go to prison or fight off 5 starved bears with blood on you.
