Michael Bay movies have been declared high art in Westenhald.
It worked surprisingly well actually. People like science now, and it made us lots of money.
Oh, also a literal gorilla was tried and convicted of murder, which didn't change any values worth worrying about. But it was a good choice, I think.
And, you know, biological reproduction is outlawed, and all youthlings must be grown in vats, so as to give us more control over all their political opinions. But you know, it's probably fine.
Visit Westenhald. You can enter when you like, but you can never leave. Because we banned leaving the country. And are rapidly approaching the top 1% of authoritarian countries. This is probably fine, right? Yeah, it's fine. The only problem is the black market makes up 1% of the economy, and that will never do. So we're going to resolve that at some point.
EDIT: And now we have nukes. And are threatening to nuke other countries unless they lift the trade embargo. We're like North Korea, but way hipper and groovier with the hatchlings or whatever the youth are called these days, and also way more aggressive with our nuclear bioweapons. Because we have nuclear bioweapons. Woo, Double international treaty violation! Hell yeah, Realism's the best approach of International Relations Theory!
Total sleep deprived tangent, but someone should totally make anthropomorphic personifications of the five approaches of international relations theory, if someone hasn't already.
