By the power vested in us, we hereby declare that all citizens of Pixelonia shall wear funny hats on Fridays. Failure to comply shall result in severe penalties, including but not limited to:
Furthermore, all citizens are encouraged to participate in the annual "Wearing of the Funny Hats" festival, to be held on the first Friday of every month. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative and outrageous hat.
Long live the Great Mandate!
