If you sell a flag that has anything painted or written on it you will be fined – In Sweden there is a law that forbids you to paint or write anything on a swedish flag. If you paint paint or write anything on a swedish flag its not considered to be a flag anymore. If you sell a flag that does not “obey” this law you will be fined a 100 krona.

If you release pigs into a acornwood (or a beechnutwood) mutually owned by you and at least one more, and exceeded your quota of allowed pigs, you will have to pay a fine for each each pig to the other owners and to restore any damages caused by the extra pigs.

A prince or princess who marries without the consent of the government, that person forfeits the right of succession for his/her children and all other descendants.

It is legal to be a prostitute provided you do not give customers enjoyment – how does this work? I mean you go to a prostitute to have sex and enjoyment! Otherwise you can just stay at home and use your hand.

During the long hours of winter darkness it is illegal to complain that you wish it were sunny – again, this is just silly and no one is actually getting into trouble over this. I bet everyone in the country will wish at some time or the other during the long winter that it were sunny again!

Health Benefits of Oranges

The vitamin C in oranges helps your body in lots of ways:

Protects your cells from damage
Helps your body make collagen, a protein that heals wounds and gives you smoother skin
Makes it easier to absorb iron to fight anemia
Boosts your immune system, your body’s defense against germs
Slows the advance of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss
Helps fight cancer-causing free radicals

When you’re feeling anxious, vitamin C can also lower your levels of the stress hormone cortisol and your blood pressure.

Fiber. The 3 grams of fiber in a medium orange help keep your bowels healthy, your cholesterol and risk of heart disease low, and ulcers at bay. Fiber also slows the way your body absorbs sugar — a big bonus if you have diabetes.

Calcium. Oranges are high in this important nutrient, which keeps your bones, organs, and muscles strong.

Folate for moms and babies. Oranges are a great way to get a big dose of folate naturally. Your body uses it to divide cells and make DNA. Because it helps prevent birth defects, it’s an especially important B vitamin for pregnant women.

Good sugar. The 12 grams of sugar in an orange are all natural. That’s different from the kind of sugar you’d get in a candy bar. Plus, all the fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants that come with an orange make it a much better choice for your body. Choose raw oranges, which have less sugar than the dried kind.

Potassium. This nutrient lowers your blood pressure, and oranges have a bunch of it.

Citric acid and citrates. These compounds help prevent kidney stones from forming.
