Welcome to Vulgaria!

 

Vulgaria (environs)

Welcome to Vulgaria, a small province between Transylvania and Hungary (population to be determined). Naturally like most wannabe nation states, Vuigaria is a monarchy, ruled by the benevolently despotic Mistah HO. Anyone who posits this ruler’s name as an anagram citing a tumescent member will be sorely correct! Vulgarians are by temperament isolators. They neither defend nor attack anyone. It’s a live and let live place where abortion is forbidden except when it's permitted and where what you do with your body is everybody else’s business. It's a right to life society where the strong are allowed to take advantage of the weak until they get too tired to continue doing it. The rule of law is what citizens live by except when it’s not the right thing to do. Mistah HO has strengthened the executive branch to such an extent that anyone breaching authority will find themselves on the event horizon of a black hole. The love Mistah HO elicits from his followers is so strong he could walk down Fifth Avenue and kill somebody and everyone would gleefully cry out “the witch is dead.” Mistah HOOOO  is so cute! Women love him and allow him and all celebrities like him to grab their crotches. There is even a name for it, "crocheting." Enjoy your stay in Vulgaria but don’t try to be one of those fentanyl smuggling immigrants who have escaped from jails and mental institutions or you will find yourself on a plane in shackles on your way to the place where all the cat eaters of Springfield go—the all-inclusive  last resort, Guantanamo Bay.
