B: Counterfeiting is a bit more out of control than it is in our world. There's a common scam where criminals break into ATMs and replace the bills with counterfeit bills. So something like 5% of the money in ATMs is counterfeit. If you are given counterfeit money from an ATM, you can exchange it for real money, but you have to visit a physical bank branch and do the transaction with a human teller. You're also more likely to get counterfeit money as change from businesses, in which case you can still do the bank thing but need the receipt.

just start pumping out counterfeit money and go to a bank to exchange it for real bills

B: The eating of Chinese food is tightly regulated. Basically, the more flavorful a dish is, the smaller the number of people allowed to eat it. The best Chinese food dishes are reserved for the wealthy or those who have held important public office. If you see anyone eating Peking Duck, you can be sure that they have a net worth above $10 million and/or were a former US Senator or higher.

B: All Americans are required to spend 2 years working as Amazon delivery people, either after high school or after college. During your 2 years, you are rotated to several different cities and regions. The rationale behind this is that authorities hope that forcing people to perform menial labor will improve their moral character, and that forcing them to work in different parts of the country will familiarize Americans with their big country.

B: Citing global warming concerns, the government bans all flying for non-business. You can still fly for pleasure, you just need to fill out a 10 page form explaining why and fax it to a government office. 99% of these forms are approved as long as you filled out all the sections correctly. It's just a hassle you have to go through. Forms can only be approved on weekdays, natch.

B: There is a list of 250 approved names and everyone in the USA must give their newborn child a name off that list. Other names are banned. However, once a year, the POTUS is allowed to change the list. The only rule is that it must be exactly 250 names. You can still legally change your name, but only to another name that was on the list the year you were born.

B: In failing rust belt and ARE COUNTRY towns all over America, the federal government opens up "City Markets", where local hipsters can sell artisinal food and crafts. These markets are subsidized so that they are profitable even if they sell nothing. However, anyone is free to visit one of these markets and buy product.

B: As a way of promoting social equality and good behavior, each year every county government randomly selects three of its poorest citizens to serve as "Captains". The captains are dressed in traditional nautical attire and are issued a special gun called the Captain's Gun. They are allowed to kill up to three people per year with their Captain's Gun and have full immunity for this. The social norm is that they kill more privileged people who slighted them in some way before they were a Captain. Also, killing or harming a Captain is a serious offense.

B: Any high school kid who scores a 1500 or higher on the SAT has the option to become a government eunuch. If they choose this, the government castrates them, but in exchange they are sent to a special, intense training program at Georgetown where they learn the art of public policy. These trained eunuchs are then given some of the most important government jobs, including senior civil service jobs at prestigious US federal agencies and important foreign service jobs. In exceptional cases, eunuchs are even given political offices (like Secretary of the Treasury) when it is felt that an impartial, highly-skilled individual is needed. Needless to say, these eunuchs are given very generous pensions upon retirement.

B: The wearing of pants is prohibited, except for people who have gone through the pantsing ceremony. Basically, at age 25, people have one shot to petition the government for the right to wear pants. Your petition must include why you should be allowed to wear pants, and in this section you must explain all of your educational and professional accomplishments up until age 25. If the government is impressed, you are invited to a special ceremony where you are given your first pair of pants. Thereafter, you are free to wear pants whenever you want. Social norms dictate that people who wear pants must be treated with great respect by those who cannot wear pants.

B: In the future, all technology runs on Neodymium. Vast shipments of Neodymium arrive at the US west coast from Asia each day, and they are shipped by truck to the rest of the USA from Oakland and Long Beach. It is vitally important that these shipments arrive on time, or else society collapses. As such, the government cares very much about the comfort of these BIG RIG drivers who carry Neodymium. The government operates big truck stops all over the major tucking routes, and pays for high end prostitutes. Being a high end truck stop prostitute is offered as an option for burned out professionals seeking a change in life. The pay is good.

B: For reasons that are not explained, the government becomes obsessed with whether or not people are eating protein. The airwaves are full of PSAs promoting eating protein, and government agents hand out free protein bars to the indigent and those who can pass as indigent. There is even a Protein Police, who go into cities and beat up people suspected of neglecting protein in their diet.

B: People who are 35+ years old but do not have kids are required to spend two weeks per year taking care of somebody else's kids. Most people do this by volunteering at a children's hospital or a daycare. All employers grant unpaid leave for this two week period.

Also, in A, would people who graduate from any college get the mace, or would there be a prestige cutoff? Would people with Doctorates get to wear their hooded robes and mace people without Doctorates? What do masters degree holders get if anything?

World B seems better, but man, World A seems like good potential for a novel.

B: After President Ocasio-Cortez is found to have violated the Constitution when attempting to nationalize the assets of the Coca-Cola Corporation, the US government signs a settlement with Coca-Cola wherein every resident of the United States is required to wear a jacket with the logo of a Coca-Cola product on it. You have to wear such a jacket anytime you leave the house, even during the height of summer. The term "jacket" is defined liberally, but you must wear a Coca-Cola jacket or else you are arrested and fined.

B: African Elephants go extinct in the wild, which leads to a surge in support for radical environmentalism. Each year on Earth Day, all of the kids in the United States line up outside of their school and are whipped by a man wearing an elephant head. This represents humanity's punishment for its collective guilt in allowing elephants to go extinct.

B: Celebrities sell their sperm freely on the open market, thanks to new laws that say if a celebrity gets you pregnant they don't owe child support as long as it was done via artificial insemination. Culturally, what this means is that the norm for professional, educated women is that they stay single until their mid 30's, at which point they have themselves inseminated with the sperm of whatever male celebrity they most admire or are attracted to. Then, if they are successfully impregnated, they search for a beta provider to take care of them and their offspring. Only poor, uneducated girls are interested in having biological children with a non-celebrity.

B: Any male convicted of a sexual crime must wear a penis cone, similar to how dogs sometimes have their heads in a cone. The cone ensures that while you can still urinate, you cannot stick your penis into anything. Obviously, people with penis cones can no longer wear pants and they have to wear skirts or kilts or other lose-fitting garments. The only way to get out of having to wear a penis cone is agreeing to get castrated.

B: Citing some kind of bullshit about safety, the government makes it illegal to drive faster than 70mph. Any car sold in the USA is not allowed to go more than 70mph, this is something that manufacturers build into every car.
