What with the hoo-ha over in Egypt and the protests and whatnot in the rest of the Middle East, I feel that the topic of government and dictatorship has gotten a little too serious lately.  I mean, who hasn't ordered a hundred political prisoners killed and their bodies arranged to spell out a marriage proposal to the american tourist you kidnapped yesterday?  Am I right?  Those protesters should chill out a little.

Plus, all this mess has taken the spotlight away from the true king of unstable governments:  the Banana Republic.  Make a comic about a ridiculous government, be it in the excesses of its leader, the bizarre laws by which it is run, or thehilarious way it was born.  Judging will be in two weeks or whenever I can be arsed to come down off my throne of gold-plated baby skulls to do so.

Come on, people!  I'm not judging this thing until I get at least 10 entries!

I meant to do more with this crappy premise but then I just ran out of caring.

Figured I'd post it anyway and maybe get some kind of obscure "Best Entry That The Author Stopped Caring About" Mention or something.

I'll be honest.  If I didn't believe in the rule of No Tag-backs, I'd give this over to four-legged tripod for "Tim and Todd play Risk".

But I digress.

Honorable mentions go to kaufman (if ever there was a despotic regime, it would be the average homeowner's association), TheGovernor, AngryAmerican, and evil_d, with a special thanks going to biped for gracing this contest with the ever adorable despot Sally Flonase.

But the win goes to ZMannZilla, for commiting genocide *ahem* ethnic cleansing upon those bastard Koopa Troopas.

Oh, we're all adults here.  Let's call it what it really is: Ex-Koopatriotism.

I'll have the next contest posted later tonight.
