It is illegal to hunt deer or elk in His Majesty's forest with a bow and arrow or musket, but high-powered sniper rifles are OK. :sniper: Interestingly, half of the forest was cut down and the other half was walled in about 130 years ago. No more deer or elk live there.

It is illegal to salute His Majesty if you are missing a finger. Since it is also illegal not to salute him, many four-fingered people wear gloves or live in the provinces.

It is illegal to milk a brown cow for more than 3 hours at a time.

It is illegal to detonate hand grenades around groups of more than four people.

Pet stores are illegal. You may only purchase an animal from an authorized breeder.

If you steal another man's livelihood, or woman, he has the right to challenge you to trial by combat. However, in a governmental April Fools Day, the Council changed the only weapon useable in said trial, an inflated condom.

The majority of the people favour the laws that are set and enforced in San Haven. However many people believe its wrong but live by these laws:.

Law 1: - Performace enhancing drugs & supplements can be used by athletes providing its not in one of the major three sports (Golf, Sailing & Soccer)

Law 2: - Only one person can vote from your family during the Annual Elections. Usually its the head of the house - Married Couples - Man!

However although these laws still exist, they are now changing, but law 1 will have limits when they change the law!

It is illegal to misuse a nuclear device within city limits. For details, please see city ordinances FR2009A73(sec. 4,5), FR2009A74(sec. 1-7) , and KT8870B12(part 2).

It is illegal to throw dead canaries at moving passenger vehicles carrying more that 3 (three) people. For details, please see Royal Decrees R33.1998n1(lines 8-29) and 887Mnn09P(lines 5-44).

If you do not vote, your vote is automatically counted as voting for the Current Ruling Party.

It is permissable to give people Sucker punches on April 1st, as long as you do not play pranks on anyone.

It is illegal for a sheep to defecate on an airplane while skydiving at an excess of 3 mph. only known incident was 12 years ago, in the famous Baa vs. Flight Regulators case. the details are unknown, the sheep got a life sentence.

Very weird Laws! We wouldn't see that in our nation!

1.if you sneeze, burp,cough,or fart inside our borders you get a death sentance.

2. if you comit suicde you get a death sentance.

3. on tuesdays,you may not go left.

Oh, a note to all:

The law I posted is no longer enforced.

In Halkania, it is illegal to be foreign.
From the bill for 'Oppression of All Peoples Not Halkanian':

"Any non-Halkanian entity found on Halkanian soil or in Halkanian airspace, with or without a satisfactory explanation for their presence on or in said soil or airspace, shall be jailed for a period of not less than 12 years or shot, depending on the severity of their offense against this law"

The biggest problem with this law is that when the offenders are released from the prison, they are still on Halkanian soil and are subsequently arrested for breaking the law again.

Also:

"Any person found being wantonly non-Halkanian in, or around, Halkania shall have their thumbs removed and then be hung by their tongue from the walls of the nearest building."

There was a ban on paying anyone any quantity of money for sports from 1965 to 2004 in Rolatia. Not too (I say too since it wasn't completely idiotic, sort of) stupid on its own but it lasted under Fascist, Christian Democrat and Conservative governments - governments that are supposed to be right-wing :rolleyes:

...and you say what I post is spam.

...and you say what I post is spam.
Only because it's true. He's starting a thread about stupid/silly laws in people's nations. Your thread was, "Come to my region because I reply to myself!"

...and you say what I post is spam.

Stop hijacking his threads! It's so annoying, the Mods have already warned you, so just knock it off.

...and you say what I post is spam.
Not always. sometimes its trolling. or flaming. or thread hyjackin.
Wait, thread hyjacking kinda is spam.

In Zukariaa it is illegal to laugh or wear anything besides blue on the day an Emperor dies.

From "The Emperor's Grand Laws Volume 89.5A":
"Any person or persons found with anything black, red, green, purple, pink..(so on for about three pages listing hundreds of colors).. on the day of an Emperor's death will be gutted in the royal court and have his body shown to the public for amusement. Anyone found being joyous on the day of an Emperor's death will be sentenced to whatever the new emperor finds worthy."

Sadly, most of the kingdom gets the news about a week after the town guard does, so hundreds of people are killed or put into jail for many years.

It is also illegal to eat the Emperor's clothes.

In Cluichstan it is illegal to associate with citizens of Tea Cup.

In Maraque it is legal to voice your opinion... however if it's against specific things you will probably be killed on sight by a mob of random passerby.

Yes, yes I know it's illegal things so here:

It is illegal to throw coins into a fountain
It is illegal to cross the road while riding a bycle
It is illegal to pay for air, electricity, or water

in my country its illegal to start borring, not-at-all-cleaver threads on message boards with the intent to be funny and impress other dorks on the message board.

... you're going to jail!

In the Federal Republic, all UN Compliance Ministry officials are shot on sight ...

Oh, right. You meant stupid laws.

In the OMGTKK state of Xt'Kalifia, a blue law remains on the books criminalizing cavorting with a CPESL (http://s6.invisionfree.com/UN_Old_Guard/index.php?showtopic=817) agent on the Sabbath while she gives you a Wet Willy while playing "This Little Piggy" submerged in a bath of Pepto Bismol and playing "She'll Be Comin' 'round the Mountain" on a banjo with a broken string and philosophizing over the lyrics and watching "The West Wing" while your third cousin Zeke sits by taking Polaroids. It's perfectly legal on any other day, but not between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. (Any other variance of activities with a CPESL agent is perfectly legal on the Sabbath.)

Offenders are immediately deported to Gruenberg, where they are ritually humiliated, stripped, beaten, and robbed of any shred of dignity until they are naked slugs curled up on the floor at the foot of their beds, chained to the bedpost, hugging their knees and nervously rocking back and forth, secure in the knowledge that they are but slaves to the High Sultan and sexual playthings in the service of Wena -- which of course isn't a punishment in Gruenberg, just a ho-hum fact of life.

i'm not sure i'd call any of our laws stupid. compared with many other nations we don't have that many of them.

we do have a law that says you can't refuse to snuggle with anyone if there are already three or more in the snuggle pile and you're not pre-engauge in opperating heavy, delicate, or otherwise dangerous machinery (or have an overdue homework assignment you haven't finished if you're in school).

it is forbidden to manufacture or import more then three of the fallowing items: non-rail vehicules massing more then one ton, balistic firearms, or individual munitions for them. (there may be other restrictions on mass production and for profit distribution of specificly harmful artifacts of questionable positive utility).

living creatures in general have the right of way over mechanical objects.
all of the latter must be capable of stopping and letting living creatures pass without sentient intervention being required for them to do so.

those running on elevated guideways where this kind of interference of their opperation is improbable are the major exception.

it is however unlawful to obstruct a fixed right of way deliberately to prevent its normal opperation for any other reason then safety or for more then one minihex (one 16th of a hexichron, ~ 5.6 minuets or so, a hexichron being one 16th of a day or approximately and hour and a half)

we do use a sixteen hexichron day and a ninteen day month devided into three six day 'weeks', the odd first day of every month falling in the middle of a 'weekend' making every third weekend a three day weekend and that day itself being a national feast day.

there are no laws prohibiting the possession or consumption of anything.

torture outside of sex play is of course expressly forbidden.
as is any use of physical violence.
unarmed assualt is a fellony.
as is disturbing the peace as it is seen as robbing others of their freedom of thought, which is held sacred and inviolable. (and thus all forms of comercial advertising other then catalogues and schedules that list ACTUAL and ACCURATE specifications are unlawfull and strongly enforced)

no one my run for political office or refuse to accept such office if elected.
no nation or regeon may restrict or impose the idiology, economy or beliefs of any neighborhood or village.

no nation or regeon may close it's borders to anyone not convicted by its own courts of a fellony and sentienced to exile.

likewise no one, wherever their origen or imperminance of their stay, is immune to whatever local ordinances may apply to where they are.

there are unwritten laws that are generaly fallowed as a matter of politeness if not self preservation, we DO have claws and theeth!

among these are never to enter uninvited the personal space in which anyone is living, or to remove from anyspace in which anyone is living any item unless that item be freely given by that space's nominal occupier.

it is unlawfull except in densely populated areas for fenced off private use zones to abut each other without leaving a public space at least adiquite for walking and the passage of wild creatures between them.

and of courese it is unlawful for any level of government to restrict or otherwise prevent, by law or any other means, anyone in their jurisdiction from leaving it.

convicted criminals can however be exiled and not allowed to return or be indentured into nonvoluntary slavery.

no one may knowingly kill any living creature who'se meat they do not intend to eat nor fail to eat of any creature they intentionaly kill.
(thus no creature may be raised in captivity nor taken in the wild exclusively for its fur, feathers, scales, inedible body parts, et c.)

sorry we don't, to my knowledge, have any wierd, silly or funny ones that i can think of.

In Kentucky You cant travel with a Ice Cream Cone in your pocket or you will be a aressted if caught!!

How Stupid!:cool:

In Cluichstan it is illegal to associate with citizens of Tea Cup.

But, that isn't a stupid law. In fact, it's a pretty good one. ;)

In Romanar, suicide is punishable by up to one year in jail. I suspect the body would get ripe by then! :eek:

In Khaak you may only hunt animals with high powered miliary grade weapons and machinery, of course such a law makes it difficult to find any part of said animal large enough to be considered a trophy.

It is illigal to look the Emperor in the eye, on penalty of being beaten to death with a dead sardine, this takes a very, very long time.

But, that isn't a stupid law. In fact, it's a pretty good one. ;)

We thought so. ;)

in St Edmund _

It is still illegal to be a member of the Spanish Inquisition, although that organisation -- which only had any official jurisdiction here during a brief period of Spanish rule over "Old St Edmund" back in the late 16th & early 17th centuries -- was disbanded over 150 years ago.
Although the use of Cocaine as a "recreational" drug is illegal a loophole in the drugs laws means that the use of less purified 'Coca extract' is technically okay... and our main local producers of fizzy drinks, 'Eckie-Ecola', have recently resumed production & sale of their original recipe which happens to include that substance.
It is illegal to skydive whilst "indecently dressed", but (following a quite recent relaxation of the laws against public nudity) not if the parachute harness is all that one is wearing.

Just out of curiosity, how many time has that one been broken?

In The Rogue Nation of Flibbleites attempting suicide gets you the death penalty.

Just out of curiosity, how many time has that one been broken?


A lot more often than you'd think.

In Daistallia 2104, uttering of the curse "Be gone in the White Fog" is considered a legal threat against another person's life, and is grounds for use of lethal self defense measures. This is due to a local historical event which resulted in several billion deaths. Foreign visitors are not exempt, and several visitors are killed each year for uttering this oath, usually as an unfortunate joke.

I mean in your NS nation, stupid!

Thankfully, neither am I. If I were, I would've taken a bath with a toaster long ago.

It is technically legal to kill someone as long as you first hang them from a tree, secondly impale them with a spear, and thirdly shout that you dedicate their death to Odin

in wompunompum you cannot i repeat cannot root for the yankees. men have died here for less... oh and you can't take the name of chuck in vain :cool:

in NQDP, it is illegal to urinate on the emporer's trout (yes, literally a fish).

We're nice, though. we don't enforce it with the Gestapo. Just the Gehiemlich Staatsvor Poliezi.

In Swilatia, it is illegal to worship Chuck Norris.

Interestingly, a similar law to that of 1010102 exists within McPsychoville, namely - on days where the number can be added to form six, it is illegal for vehicle drivers to turn right. The origins of this law are believed to come from an incident where a Supreme Justice was cut up on the roads by a truck turning right into a slip road. The Supreme Justice crashed into the truck, and during his stay at the hospital for a fractured shoulder, he decreed that turning right would be illegal on 'this day'. However, his secretary had suffered a concussion in the same crash, and she took this to mean that on any day whose digits could form the number six - as it was August the 15th - turning right would be illegal.

Just out of curiosity, how many time has that one been broken?Jack Riley has violated the law on several nonconsecutive occasions -- but fortunately for him, he was on UN Territory each of those times, and thus escaped prosecution.

The law was last enforced in 1973, when 19-year-old Andrew Sarkozy was caught doin' the dirty with a CPESL service worker, arrested, booked, jailed and charged with high treason. Sarkozy, of course, claimed that there was no CPESL service worker, he barely even knows her, and that she was actually a drag queen named Dirk -- and subsequently showed up at his trial wearing stiletto heels and a tiny pink miniskirt and demanding to be addressed as "Belinda" just to "prove" his outrageous claims, which were largely discredited when police witnesses produced a pair of tighty-whities they found among his delicates, and the testimony of surprise witness "Lorain" Peterson, president of the drag lobbyist group the Federated Union of Queenly Dudes, who claimed that the defendant had been expelled from the association for repeated delinquency on monthly membership dues. Sarkozy was laughed out of court, convicted ipso facto, and sold to Gruenberger white-slave traders the next day.
