....and the country flag is blue and yellow, with a hex wrench superimposed over it......

While driving up to Vancouver BC with [livejournal.com profile] seattlejo, we got to talking about country identification and affiliation.

And came to the conclusion that Deb's nationality is "Ikean"

Obviously this comes with a modular do-it-yourself government, some assembly required.

I may have to run with this idea...... (grin)

Don't forget the parts come prepackaged with checkbox options.

Oh sorry. You were pointing out how this Ikean government would be DIFFERENT than the current ones.

I don't like where this is headed.

Y'see, while the really intelligent ones can interpret the assembly diagrams, understand theory of Ikean assembly and therefore wind up with a beautiful finished product, most people are simply goinig to slap the government together, throw out that packet of spare parts that they simply didn't understand how to use, grumble at the uninterpretable directions...

...and bitch when their newly-built government collapses in a heap the first time they place a saucer on it.

(Come to think of it...not much difference, is there?)

The Ikean government would have different options, like Malm vs Hagar, as opposed to the same thing in different colors.
