There might have been some central government regulation I don't know about, but I think it's just a compilation of various common restriction or warning signs. You see "grillen verboten" in most parks and open spaces, because Bavarians are loving obsessed with barbecuing and will start fires in any open space if you don't stop them.

In my last apartment, the house rules were that I could only grill two or three times in a given summer, and had to notify the rest of the house first. Even on the Neckarwiese, people are only allowed to grill on the grillplatz. Though in all fairness, there would probably be more holes in the grass due to people just dumping their coals on the ground.

It's great depression time!

The trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange just after the crash of 1929. On Black Tuesday, October twenty-ninth, the market collapsed. In a single day, sixteen million shares were traded--a record--and thirty billion dollars vanished into thin air. Westinghouse lost two thirds of its September value. DuPont dropped seventy points. The "Era of Get Rich Quick" was over. Jack Dempsey, America's first millionaire athlete, lost $3 million. Cynical New York hotel clerks asked incoming guests, "You want a room for sleeping or jumping?"

Police stand guard outside the entrance to New York's closed World Exchange Bank, March 20, 1931. Not only did bank failures wipe out people's savings, they also undermined the ideology of thrift.

Photographer: Ben Shahn

The photograph that has become known as "Migrant Mother" is one of a series of photographs that Dorothea Lange made in February or March of 1936 in Nipomo, California. Lange was concluding a month's trip photographing migratory farm labor around the state for what was then the Resettlement Administration. In 1960, Lange gave this account of the experience:
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean- to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it. (From: Popular Photography, Feb. 1960).

Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother," destitute in a pea picker's camp, because of the failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tent in order to buy food. Most of the 2,500 people in this camp were destitute. By the end of the decade there were still 4 million migrants on the road.

Gellert, Hugo, 1924. Vote Communist poster. During the 1920s the American Communist Party was often a victim at once of government oppression and of its own sectarian struggles, but in the mid-1930s it adopted a "popular front" policy of alliances with liberal organizations. Its membership tripled, but more important still were the thousands of sympathizers who endorsed party-supported causes.

Here's her sister Jessica, aka the only good Mitford. Eloped to Spain when she was 19 to support the Republic in the Civil War. Her husband later went MIA fighting the Nazis that her sisters loved. She then moved to the US, joined the Communist Party, and spent the rest of her life fighting for civil rights and writing classics of investigative journalism.

The English royal family are german. Before World War 1 they were House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, because of anti-German sentiment during ww1 in the British Empire they changed it to House of Winsor.

quote:

"A Good Riddance"; propaganda cartoon from Punch, Vol. 152, 27 June 1917, commenting on the King having ordered the relinquishing of the German titles held by members of his family.

These are Charles' II ancestors. Comparatively tame compared to the Ptolemies, and over only about 200 years, while the Ptolemaic dynasty was going at it balls to the wall for 300 years. Which has always made me wonder - do we just not know about all the, um, outwardly inbred Ptolemies or what?

Inbreeding is only a problem as it makes the inheritance of recessive or co-whatever negative genetic traits more likely to appear. So if there is a chance for something bad or a mutation makes the bad poo poo come up, that stuff isn't gotten rid off. If they get lucky with the genetic dice, then there wouldn't be that big of a problem. Homozygosity is not really an instant death sentence.
Also, as the Pharaoh would usually have his pick of several sisters, he could choose the one, least, uhh, yeah.

That's not true; decreased genetic diversity always has a negative effect on the immune system. Your immune system depends a lot on random chance and basically rolling the dice repeatedly until it hits on a combination that works. To continue the metaphor, inbred people have fewer sets of dice to roll so they're less likely to hit on the right combination and even if they do, it will usually take them longer. Before the age of antibiotics and vaccines, this would have been a pretty drat big problem. It still is a big problem for endangered species like the Tasmanian Devil, which may soon go extinct because it's so inbred.

Not really limited to royalty, though. Cousin-marriages were practiced in most of the western world, though usually by the wealthy & the bourgoisie. It was a way to keep wealth and land from being "diluted" by the family growing too large. In Denmark, it required royal permission until fairly recently. Currently, there are no restrictions but it's exceedingly rare.
