Histofactoid--The Banana Oil Story

Government--Laid Out All Plain-Like (Keep Fingers Away!)

Complex centralized governments with an excess of moving parts, like Tic-Toc's, and/or those premised on convoluted and frequently interchangeable political, religious, and/or criminal theories, will eventually overheat and break down without continuous infusions of lubricating banana oil--as recently witnessed with the sad case of the former Former-Republic of Former-Russland. That unhappy former nation is so seized-up after being irresponsibly run red-hot for so many years that a crow-bar or cudgel is nowadays required to simply purchase groceries. Most modern corporations, even on our neighboring planets of Ishtar and Thor, are almost pure banana oil with few pragmatic components, and on our pathetic parallel world of "Da Urth" banana oil is used by one major religion to lubricate conglomerations of oddball parts that don't even fit together rationally! Otherwise, on "Urth" banana oil is valued more highly than items of solid value and substance; it's used primarily to create even more banana oil. Nearly 90% of Erde's comes from the Puta Babylonian, Persian, and Saltyonion regions, locations redolent, and afloat and adrift on endless undulating oceans, of it--pretty much why the Janes and Joes of those benighted nations are constantly seasick or at least often act that way. Our Empire, praise Wotan, is both low-friction and self-lubricating and requires a minimum of the sticky smelly stuff. It's used here almost exclusively as an environmentally-friendly fungicide.
