  In addition to being funny as hell, I actually kind of like the Liturgy idea, but it's an uncomfortable middle ground between private enterprise and taxation. I want to like it more than I do.

  This is unadulterated comedic genius.

  > I would support reverse primogeniture-based inheritance - ie the youngest son takes the throne - just so we can have a “King Barron”.

  I think that's called ultimogeniture, or at least that's what Crusader Kings told me.

  I'm a big fan of the statue of liberty idea. I'm surprised nobody making copper statues puts either a lacquer on them, or some sort of sacrificial anode. (if that's even possible for copper)

  I assume the green look is preferable.

  Sorry I'll have to sit this one out. I used to like deep political satire but so many bad ideas are masquerading as good ideas these days, the funny is just not funny anymore. I have kids now.

  For example, I used to love the movie Brazil, until it started to resemble the European Union.

  Making Trump a constitutional monarch makes a little too much sense
