Every entry checked against the statute, or shown to have no statute behind it.
Israel's 1962 Pig-Raising Prohibition Law bans raising, keeping, or slaughtering pigs across the entire country — not just within city limits. The ban is national in scope but includes a carve-out for towns with large Christian populations.
The claim that Johannesburg has a municipal bylaw making it illegal to use more than a certain number of plastic bags per shopping transaction is false. No such law exists at any level of South African government.
Honduras prohibits civilians from wearing military or police-style clothing, including camouflage, with penalties of up to 8 years imprisonment. However, the law is primarily an anti-impersonation measure targeting criminal gangs — not a simple 'authorization required' dress code.
A widely circulated claim holds that Lebanon prohibits parents from naming a child after a political party or figure without government approval. No such law exists in Lebanese civil registration statutes.
The claim that Croatian employers are legally required to give workers paid leave on their birthday is false. No such provision exists in the Croatian Labour Act (Zakon o radu) or any other national employment legislation.
The claim that Slovak law requires employers to provide employees with free onions and garlic to prevent workplace illness is false. No such provision exists anywhere in Slovakia's Labour Code or related occupational health legislation.
The claim that Australia has a national law requiring all swimming pools to employ a certified lifeguard during operating hours — with fines over AUD $10,000 for violations — is false. No such federal statute exists; pool safety law in Australia is state-based and primarily covers fencing and barriers, not mandatory lifeguard staffing.
Zanzibar's Penal Code criminalizes 'gross indecency' and 'unnatural offences,' making same-sex public displays of affection — including kissing — arrestable offences. However, the popular claim that all kissing in public is illegal oversimplifies the law, which specifically targets same-sex conduct rather than heterosexual kissing.
A widely circulated claim holds that Kazakhstan requires government approval before parents can name a child after a foreign celebrity. No such law exists in Kazakhstani legislation.
The claim that 'Georgia' bans alcohol sales within 100 meters of schools and public transportation stations is a mix-up: the U.S. state of Georgia has a genuine law prohibiting alcohol sales near schools (measured in yards, not meters), but the country of Georgia has no verified equivalent national statute — and neither law covers public transportation stations.
The claim that Brazil bans bikinis on public beaches and requires swimwear to cover the torso is false. Brazil is globally famous for its minimal bikinis; what is actually restricted is going *topless* — the exact opposite of what is claimed.
Morning exercise sessions (senam pagi) are a widespread, culturally embedded practice at Indonesian government offices, and many agencies require attendance. However, there is no national statute specifically mandating civil servant exercise with formal disciplinary penalties under Indonesia's civil service discipline framework.
