Metal Wolf Chaos

A popular Japanese 1980's animated series (or "anime") depicting an IJA agent (codenamed "Metal Wolf Chaos") in India, where he aids British Intelligence in thwarting Communist and American-fueled subversive plots. Despite the laughably bad English (in addition to "Metal Wolf Chaos," other code names include "Sailor Green Warrior" and "Aluminium King Cobra"), a dubbed version of the anime became popular in the British Empire as well. Following the Great Pacific Rapprochement, the series even became popular (with certain offensive items removed) in the United States, becoming, in 2007, the first "anime" to be televised in the US.

The Burgundian Burghers

A viciously anti-Prussian examination of conditions in the Gallic Provinces during the late 19th century, focussing particularly on the complete failure of the burghers to recognize that local cultures were not their native cultures, and ongoing efforts to "suppress," or more accurately destroy, the indigenous cultures and cultural artifacts, and the inevitable brutal backlash that nearly destroyed Prussian, and did destroy the Empire's hopes of westward expansion. If they couldn't even hold Gallia, what hope to hold Iberia or Khemr?

Selling Out 2: Electric Pepsi Bugaloo

Sequel of the comedy movie "Selling out". The movie, despite being a box office hit and developing a fan base, was met with critical disdain and indifference. Suffering the usual problems of trying to 'top' an original comedy by being bigger and ruder, Electric Pepsi Bugaloo also received criticism from the young leftist community that it attempted to make nods to, despite clearing being a product of marge media companies, and it's ultimate goal of making money over making a statement. It's attempt to excuse itself by making a parody of its own unashamed product placement was met with the general critical reaction of "acknowledging something is shitty doesn't make it less shitty". All this aside, the film had a kicking soundtrack and featured one of the greatest dance scenes of the year.

Inka Dinka Doo Says: the Time has Come.

A novel written by famous Columbian comedy writer Samuel Clemmens Jr., the book parodies the Incan Uprising of 1888. Written from the perspective of a poor, illiterate Indian farmer in Peru, who is convinced to join a rebellion against the government by a
mysterious traveler named Dikado.(dubbed Dinka Doo by the imbacilic POV character.)
The novel has a deceptively light tone, as the character travels across Peru spreading Dikado's message.(which he keeps stating incorrectly) When the uprising begins, he takes part in the violent raids and massacrres that characterized the real Uprising, though the novel's tone remains humorous as the main character is too stupid to realize what is actually going on. Eventually he and Dikado are tracked down by government forces, and Dikado sacrifices himself, entrusting the leadership of the rebellion to the nameless protagonist. The final scene shows him in the center of a poor mountain village, speaking to the people and encouraging them to join the rebellion. The novel's last line is the same as the title.

The "shadows" of palm trees and seabirds are left behind on the ground with debris from the city sitting in various places on the beach and in the water. A school of dead fish and two dolphins have washed ashore. None of the city is visible from the angle that the painting is looking from.

The Guyanese Rejoice

The mural on the rear wall of the Guyanese Royal Palace, depicting the restoration of the country's monarchy after the miserable failure of the republican government. The (self-admittedly) oppressive King John IV had been ousted in a palace coup, but the new President, even after supervised elections, turned out to little more than shill for the United Fruit Company and similar corporate plunderers. The brutal rebellion against President Oakwood's regime inflicted damages that the country is still working to repair under the rule of John's daughter, Queen Ashley. An unworldly intellectual, she was given the throne simply because she was the first person in the line of succession who'd take it. Surprisingly, her near-total ignorance of politics has been beneficial to the country, as she tends to send her orders and make known her policies directly to the populace, bypassing entirely the "advisors" who want to return to the days of their great prosperity. Like her father, she is an absolute monarch, one of the few remaining outside of the Caribbean countries, but has promised to implement a constitutional monarchy once the country's industries are at least 70% domestically owned and operated, and running on a sustainable basis.
