copleyc Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 After two decades in which social and financial inequalities widened amidstunsustainable speculative development, the country of Amerijkanistan held presidential elections this week.The two leading candidates were both drawn from a tiny elite, both spent vast sums on propaganda, and both have claimed victory. Experts on Amerijkanistan recall the history of violent revolution, civil war and morerecent political violence and assassinations, resignations, impeachments,sexual scandals and corruption in this emergent republic, and recommend that the UN supervise its elections until the country stabilizes."It is struggling to emerge from years of political polarization and turmoil" said a World Trade Organization spokesperson, "and its long-suffering people deserve our support.""One side of the country declared results before voting had finished in another part" he explained. Moreover, he went on to spell out that the southern province of 'Floridalandia,' in which the leadership struggle is being fought, is run by the brother of one of the candidates, whosefather had previously ruled the entire country, having risen through his control ofthe nation's intelligence/security apparatus. Their family is based in a part of the country in which secessionist feelings have long run strong and which was only incorporated into Amerijkanistan after a border war.Experts on Amerijkanistan argue that the UN should go in to run education programs, disarm the population, relieve the malnutrition and environmental problems caused by adherence to a staple diet of cheese and burgers, democratize the police forces and above all halt the furtherdevelopment of war machinery. "This country has used dangerous weapons in the pastand often threatened to do so again. But with our help, modernization, and a stress on human development, it may have a more stable future and join the ranks of the civilized international community" he said.
