Capitolism
This morning's fake "news" appears to be about a peculiar bit of cartographic redefinition. The leader of Country 1 has declared that the capital of Country 2 is in the wrong place and needs to be moved to a different city. Country 2 agrees, and in fact Country 2 has been wanting to redefine its capital for a while.
Normally this sort of thing happens after Country 1 has DEFEATED Country 2. After WW2, Country 1 redefined the capital of Germany from Berlin to Bonn.
In this case Country 2 is the owner and Country 1 is the slave. So why does Country 2 need to have approval from the slave? Why doesn't it just move its own capital?
= = = = =
Come to think of it, remote-control capitolism could be a good idea.
For instance: Country 3 could decide that the capital of Country 1 should be in Coyville
instead of DC. Coyville has streets named after states just like DC, so it should be a plug-n-play replacement. Country 3 would demand that Country 1 must move its government out of DC and into all the existing government buildings in Coyville immediately. If Country 1's government can't fit into the existing Coyville buildings as shown above, Country 3 would then remove DC from the planet so that Country 1's capital would be the null set and the world would be saved from infinite evil forever.
Consummation devoutly to be wished. I pray for it every hour.
