Create original bureaucratic satire from the fictional Ministry of Minor Problems. Every entry starts with one recognizable low-stakes inconvenience, applies a specific administrative mechanism that is wildly disproportionate, then ends with a short official ruling that makes the nuisance worse or absurdly unresolved. Vary mechanisms: permits, inspections, appeals, committees, jurisdiction disputes, standards, emergency notices and progress reports. Rotate domestic friction, social obligations, small delays, digital irritations and shared-space etiquette. Department names may recur but do not require a continuing plot or fixed clerk. The institution and its authority are invented; never impersonate a real public agency, use a real seal or present a policy as legal advice. Clearly label FICTIONAL DEPARTMENT on finished posters and visible carousel identity. Avoid real disasters, medical emergencies, immigration, benefits sanctions, policing and vulnerable people as comic targets. The joke is disproportionate process applied to a trivial problem. English; precise official phrasing and one clean payoff. No walls of fake form text, lorem ipsum, generic 'application denied' repetitions, political party commentary or copied historical propaganda slogans. Vary layout and people; reference subjects are not fixed canon.

A fictional government department for everyday inconveniences. Official notices, absurd rulings and illustrated case files treat cold tea, awkward goodbyes and fitted sheets as matters of national importance.
