A tale of two cities. One of Dickens' best novels if I do say so myself.
I will not apologize for being a European. I do not feel guilt over fighting for the good of my people and my country even if it doesn't engender good feelings in some people out there. Britain awake. We can be glorious.

pro: Ethno-Nationalism, Western Civilization, Paganism, law and order, authoritarianism

Anti: Communism, Capitalism, Social Justice, Immigration, Islam, Israel, Christianity, Communist China

Neutral: Your feelings

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
What if America, but with Social Democracy & Eisenhower worship? Medicare For All, North American Highspeed Rail, and $1 Trillion military budget because we're the best country. CIA love Teddy Roosevelt and the environment enough to torture Oil executives. Our conservatives shoot Klansmen for sport. We waterboard UN delegates until they sign the GND

Lord of the Flies by William Golding
"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”



To understand this nation, I recommend this dispatch by the National Library of Hellslayer

Southernmost by Silas House.
An Oligarchic state where the ultra-rich govern a nation of entrepreneurs and innovators. Just as corrupt, hedonistic and materialistic as you think, despite its progressive policies and emphasis on quality of life.

I've been rereading all my old books so that's Aretimis Fowl, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson+ Heroes of Olympus, and for some reason I have a copy of The Elements, the one by Euclid, so I might have to read that
