I think if a country suddenly threw all it's efforts behind being the number one producer of pizza on Earth we'd call that country psychotic. It's like when Turkmenistan built a golden statue of it's dictator with a head that turns to face the sun.

Just tell the MTA that it's a load bearing statue for a tunnelling project. Hopefully no one will point at a statue above ground can't be loading bearing unless the sky got particularly heavy right above it. I'm sure you can come up with a better excuse.

This country is governed for the greater good.

The economy is strong, the air is clean, crime is non-existent, taxes are low, the people are economically equal and prosperous. As for the Pizza targets, we are currently fluctuating between number 2 and 3 worldwide. The fact that there are no elections and the civil rights are not a priority shouldn't mean much.

The government does not take kindly to these slights from the WA.

Anything can be load bearing if you submit the correct paperwork.

A handy guide to nation classifications for you.

It will give you a general idea of what changes will help you change your nation classification.

Yes, every dictatorship tends to think they are working "for the greater good".

EDIT: Except my dictatorship. The theory behind my nation was "the deliberately most dystopian nation possible" (in fact, I had to create nice nations, just to balance it out).

I miss the days of a Father Knows Best State...
Except Cromwell. He didn’t know what the fuck he was doing.
Behind the free market lies the iron fist of the state - the one thing I learned from The Blaatschapen, excluding how to say sheep in dutch.
Update: apparently it’s bleating sheep.

He was someone who lived in the middle ages in so much as I was someone who lived during the Napoleonic Wars.

Kings, the other two have given me beer at some pint.

This despite the nickname of the Dutch King being prince pils(ener). Such a fraud.
