Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters, the Great Vendiagramian Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, and public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment.
