The capital of Turkmenistan was ordered to only allow white cars.

In 2002, Turkmenistan's former dictator Saparmurat Niyazov famously renamed the months and days of the week to reflect his personality cult.He renamed April after his mother.

This sound like a very Aladeen thing for a country

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's Aladeen, but it could be considered Aladeen.

White car order was issued by Turkmenistan’s current dictator tho, Berdimuhamedow. And he managed to become even worse than Niyazov in terms of personality cult and clown laws.

He has it already? He randomly renamed a Gulf and a Great Lake. I called living on Lake Melania in 2025.
