Instead of German Nazis or Soviet communists taking over, this time it’ll be German communists if they can’t stop it. It would be amusing if it weren’t so sad.
We'll manage, like we always have. As Heydrich once said, the Czechs are a nation of laughing beasts, and our national sports are ice hockey and finding creative ways to ignore stupid laws.

This country is basically an IRL Shire from Tolkien's works; we're hobbits who make great beer, cars, pornography, and weapons.
