Final answer:

The statement about Napoleon mandating odd rules for pigs and beer rations is false, but he did contribute to French governance by establishing educational reforms, creating the Bank of France, and introducing the Code Napoleon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provided appears to be based on a fictionalized or misunderstood representation of historical facts about Napoleon Bonaparte and his actions. There is no historical record of Napoleon mandating pigs to wear green ribbons or rationing beer. However, Napoleon's contributions to education and governance are significant. He established lycées, which were secondary schools to produce well-educated citizens capable of serving in political and military capacities.

The Legion of Honor was also created to reward citizens of merit. Napoleon's sweeping reforms extended to finance and the legal system through the creation of the Bank of France and the introduction of the Civil Code, also known as the Code Napoleon. His approach to rule favored efficiency and meritocracy, which led to significant changes in French society and governance, despite the centralized and authoritarian aspects of his reign.
