Article 2: The Great Hat Law of 3456 BC

As per the decree of King Zorvath, it was mandatory for all citizens of Ancient Civilization 3456 to wear funny hats on Tuesdays. This law was enacted to bring joy and whimsy to the daily lives of the people, and to distinguish them from the neighboring kingdom of Seriousville, who took themselves far too seriously.

The law was taken very seriously, with punishments ranging from fines to forced viewing of ancient sitcom reruns for those who failed to comply.
