Nuisance Detectors
Found in: Several Major Cities
Est. Cost: 6 Months in Prison
If you thought school hall monitors were annoying, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Several large Indian cities have hired Nuisance Detectors, whose mission it is to ticket people for, you guessed it, making a nuisance. A few annoyances are more prevalent than others. They are the ones who clearly cause a nuisance to the general public. Urinating and defecating in public, as well as fornication (of any form), are all punishable nuisances. Spitting in public, as made famous by the Singapore government, is also deemed a nuisance in India.

The Taj Mahal
Found in: Agra
Est. Cost: $1 Billion* (2020)
The Taj Mahal, built between 1632 and 1653 as a tomb for Mumtaz Mahal (Shah Jahan’s favored bride), has become not only one of India’s most iconic structures, but also a monument that reflects the beauty and majesty of the Shah and his Queen’s love. The Taj Mahal’s design is at its most magnificent during sunrise and dusk. Depending on where one is looking, the sun’s rays will reflect off the ivory-white marble of the tomb, creating a multicolored display of splendor. The Moonlight Garden, which faces the Taj’s northern walls from across the Yamuna River, is the greatest site to view the sunset spectacle.
