ENTHUSIASM IS MANDETORY
MEASURES, SCHEDULES, AND WHERE NECESSARY MANUFACTURES THE PUBLIC MOOD

The Bureau of Enthusiasm maintains national enthusiasm at or above the level described in Directive 0002-Z as ACCEPTABLE. Enthusiasm below this level is a deficiency. Enthusiasm above it is showing off and we all know it.
Current gross output stands at 143% of quota. An investigation has been opened into who exceeded it and why they did not say anything first.
All celebration shall occur between 04:00 and 04:06. Celebration outside these hours is HOARDING and will be treated as such, which is to say warmly, and at length, and in a small room.
Approved methods: clapping; standing near a flag; thinking loudly. Under review: dancing; crying; the other one. Citizens who celebrate for the full seven minutes have miscounted, because the window is six minutes, and the Bureau would like to know where they got the seventh minute from.
Enthusiasm is measured by volume, by posture, and by a third method the Bureau does not publish because publishing it would let citizens optimise for it, which several already have, which is how output reached 143%.
Citizens are reminded that enthusiasm is its own reward. There are no other rewards. The rewards programme has been cancelled and its administrator has been thanked.
