Mussolini's Italy in the early 1930s.

Jordan?

Obama's America? (The government knows what's best for you, now you shut up and watch your television)

Nah, Mussolini woudla never put up with that tea party shit...

Obama's America?

No.

If it's Obama's America, he is sure doing a shitty job at being the next Josef Stalin. I mean there are no gulags, free elections that devastated his own party, public polls showing his increasing unpopularity, allowing the courts to challenge his 'oppressive' health care law. I'm sorry Obama, you fail at being a dictator.

That's because Obama is a British agent who's been tasked with ruining America enough so that when we take over, you won't complain.

It's this kind of nonsense that's the reason America is so politically divided...

And why no one else takes us seriously.

The Vatican, North Korea, China and Australia to a certain extent.

Stalinism?

What the..

I'd say the Nordic nations are along the lines, high taxes and strong social community - Father knows Best doesn't mean strangling the life out of your child,

Nordic nations also have high levels of civil and political rights, which means they wouldn't be in the Nationstates category of a Father Knows Best State.

Clearly I've no idea what a Father Knows Best state is, I'd somewhat taken it off the FAQ answer over free speech and put a benign spin on it.

Bah, surely MI6 can produce something better? I mean, c'mon, you guys had James Bond for Pete's sake (ignoring the fact most of those movies were funded by American media companies)? I mean, yes I feel bummed out by the way the country is going, but never to the point where I'd accept English rule. Unless...unless, you intended to create such discontent, that we would be forced into electing an un-electable candidate (Sarah Palin), therefore plunging the country and the world into chaos and disorder, where you would rise up, out of the ashes, as the only regime of stability and order...you fools, your opening a can of worms that can never be closed. Once you go Palin, you can't go back.

Ah, but you miss the genius of the plan. Palin, by way of Murdoch, is on the plan, as Murdoch would be given free reign with the entirety of the American media.

1. Bond, funded by American companies - brilliant, actually... UK movie makers making US companies pay for part of the rejoining
2. Palin? Nuhuh... that's not the UK's favored candidate... that's North-Korea's favored agent candidate.
