Monarchy in the People's Republic

Flatland has, for many generations, been a republic, so naturally its Royal Family continues in power. The necessary doublethink is ingrained within the politics of Flatland, and explains the flourishing of various absurdities, including cancel culture. This bizarre doctrine punishes any scintilla of common sense with cries of Fascism, Racism, Sexism and every other conceivable ism.

Chief Circles come and go. One lasted only a few weeks, and the current incumbent Fishy Haddock faces a general election in 2024. The Flat Broke Party can expect wipeout at the polls, owing to its inability to deal with any of the pressing issues: uncontrolled borders; the economy; housing; and the unsolved Riemann Hypothesis. Few will lament its passing.

Nigel Flatage is the winner amongst this upheaval, with a personal boost from appearing in 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Sphere'.

Northland vs Flatkraine

This fixture has been going on for nearly two years, and nobody has even blown the whistle for half-time.  President Input of Northland - having laid claim to the parts of Flatkraine that his minions failed to capture in 2014, awaits an ignominious settlement with Flatkraine. President Braindead and his controllers are heartily sick of propping up a corrupt regime. 

At some point the prospective November rematch between Braindead and Trumpy-Pumpy will catch the public's attention. As is customary, the nation's two worst candidates will contest the slugfest. A dire prospect.
