The People's Republic of Flatland is preparing to leave the League of Medland Nations (LMN). The Chief Circle, however, is not of the same persuasion as the populace, and has proposed several 'deals' whereby membership of the LMN will be extended whilst border arrangements are put in place.
In truth, each of these deals involved total, abject surrender to the LMN, whose negotiators have been licking their lips at the prospect of Flatland's prospective humiliation. Principal blame for this sorry state of affairs lies with the current Chief Circle - Mrs Maybe. Within the innermost political circle of Circles, much plotting has taken place, but an attempt to defenestrate Mrs Maybe failed last December.
Recently the population of Triangles, Squares, and others has become restive. Can it be long before Terry Jones is required to rule on whether Mrs Maybe weighs the same as a duck?
"It's a fair cop!"
