Run over

"My God! Don't move!

"Send in an ambulance! A man just had an accident! He was run over by a car of a government agen—"

"And what about the previous administration? HUH?"

Public spending

"That government research facility has been there for years and they have yet to open a gate to an alternate universe full of monsters."

"What are they doing with our tax money?"

Difficult legacy

"Well, yes. Of course the previous administration is to blame for everything. After all, if the previous administration had done a good job, we wouldn't have been elected into office, right? Their responsibility is clear. Next question.

Classification

Administration

"The country should be run like a company."

"Well said!"

"The country should be run by unelected bureaucrats who guide all work towards a common end and assign resources according to the necessities of each individual."

"COMMUNIST!"

Costamaranda

"This little island, along with its adjacent islets and the sea around them, is the Independent Republic of Costamaranda. Port Chifulca is its capital and only major city.

"This little known country will soon be featured in news reports around the world because of a bloody coup d'etat led by General Efigio Zamuldano. Of course, no one will know we are behind it.

"Under Zamuldano's regime, the citizens of Costamaranda will be forced to wear the left shoe on the right foot and vice versa. Parting one's hair will be punishable with imprisonment for life without trial. Whistling, wearing digital wristwatches and sanding wood before painting it will be crimes against the state. Newspapers will be barred from using open vowels on Tuesdays."

"This is madness! What will we get out from that?"

"A priceless political standard. We'll be able to run our countries in any way we like and claim that it's not a dictatorship as long as it's not like Costamaranda."

Popular support

"This new decree increases the penalties for possession of garlic, crucifixes and wooden stakes. It also regulates the right of the undead to vote, assemble peacefully and sacrifice children to Baal. And, with these measures, we assert ourselves as a free, sovereign nation, independent of American imperialism!"

"Hooray!"

"Bravo!"

"Woot! Woot!"

Piggy bank

"Thank you for the trust that you have placed in me to be in charge of the people's piggy bank.

"See? Do you see now the problem with public administration? This piggy bank should have been privatized long ago!"

Interventionism

"We demand that the government stop interfering with our commercial activities, which create thousands of jobs! They should instead devote their efforts to isolate malaria patients in order to protect our children from this frightful disease that keeps spreading unchecked!"

"That's right!"

"Bravo!"

"Well said!"

ANOPHELES BREEDERS ASSOCIATION

Taxation

"We request on behalf of the Gaming Association that a special tax be applied to treatments for compulsive gambling in order to compensate for the losses they cause us."

Form of government

"Legal recognition will be withdrawn from political parties, except for the ruling party, which will become an official part of the state structure. Every citizen will need government permission to travel abroad."

"TYRANNY!"
