Glimpses of Future Glory

As is surely uncontroversial by now, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is something of a world leader in British values. Racially homogenous, with enviable levels of child poverty and a strong and stable government which takes a robust line with non-patriots, North Korea is, perhaps most Britannically of all, still fighting a war in which the actual shooting stopped around the middle of the twentieth century. As a result of this close moral harmony, the present state of the Republic may offer a useful indication of future trends in the newly-independent Recrudescent Imperium of Westminster, Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. Both great powers are basking in unprecedented heatwaves, and both populations are being exhorted to muddle through on their own as a matter of patriotic duty. The main difference is that the Democratic People's Republic is in danger of famine because of its independent nuclear deterrent; while the Recrudescent Imperium will have to rely on WTO trading rules before its workers can attain a similar degree of tight-belted discipline.
