- By Mandate 2: The Empire reserves the right to inspect and regulate all artisanal bread-baking practices within the realm.
- By Mandate 3: All citizens are encouraged to participate in regular bread-tasting ceremonies to promote inter-kingdom harmony and appreciation for fermented foods.

Note: Failure to comply with these mandates may result in imperial retribution, including but not limited to: being forced to watch an endless loop of bread-baking videos, being assigned to a bread-kneading task force, or being subject to the wrath of the Emperor's trusty kitchen shears.
