In the Dominion...

...The maximum speed limit for a unicycle is 40 KPH, 60 KPH on highways.

...If you tie an elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the toll. (Actually a Florida law)

...Belching the alphabet is not covered under freedom of speech.

...Bagpipes are not musical instruments. Under the law, they count as a military weapon, albiet one that requires no permit to operate.
(Actually a facet of British law that came about so that they could execute bagpipers captured when the Scots rebelled. It was upheld when a British man attempted to fight a citation for breaching a local ordinance that said he could not play musical instruments in public. Citing this ancient ruling, he declared that his bagpipe was not a musical instrument, but rather an instrument of war. The judge promptly threw the case out and had him arrested on weapons offences.)

...Officers above the rank of Major or Lieutenant Commander may summarily execute a set number of subordinates per month without legal reprecussions, that number to be determined by their rank. Note - Officers who abuse this law tend to be executed under its provisions.

...Dogs, cats, fish, and llamas may not vote in municipal or provincial elections, except in the Province of Fairlee, the only province yet to pass such a law. (Federal elections, however, are not covered under these laws.)

...No person may conceal a rocket launcher on their person in any manner.
