This is the story of how in the midst of global turmoil and the horrors of the competetion between three outdated modes of thought, Brazil brought upon the world the now-dominant form of government on Earth:
Quasi-Democracy!!!
December 30,1936
The un-shaven and rather rotund man stood, brimming with energy adressing the crowd of thousands in Rio de Jenaro.
"Communsim is a fool's errand, Marx, despite his good intentions, was an idiot!"
(crowd roars)
"Facism will destory the world! With it, artistic creativity and invention will be stifled and we will be thrown into a global dark ages!!"
(crowd roars)
"Finally, free-wheeling democracy will bring anarchy to the world! Look at what the lack of vision and guidance has done to the great democracies already!! People are living in the streets while others sit in the White House, or #10 Downing Street, or other luxurios mansions around the world deciding the fate of those on the street, up to 49% of whom didn't consent to that pompous ruler , even voting against them! Democracy leads to eternal discontent and eventual anarchy!!!"
(crowd roars)
"Only one kind of government can bring true happiness to the world!! Quasi-Democracy!!!...."
(interrupted by roaring crowd)
"Silence!!!"
(dead silence)
"As I was saying, with Quasi-Democrasy we will have the legitimacy provided by the consent of the people with the lack of dissent provided by Facism! You see, we take the best of both sides!!!"
A man in the crowd hollers out (yes I'm from Arkansas, get over it) "What about socialism?"
"I already said, Communism will..."
"No not Communism, democratic, or in this case quasi-democratic socialism?? If I choose not to work, the government should have to pay my bills, and for my food, and by recliner, etc!! It's you moral obligation !!!"
"You lazy socialist BUM!! Why should ordinary, hard-working people have to foot the bill for you to sit on your lazy ass! 'moral obligation' my ass!! The government should help people who can't help themselves or who are simply temporarily out of a job. A safety net, not a matress!!"
(crowd roars, and promptly lynches the socialist bum)
"Let the Quasi-Democratic Revolution Begin!!!"
That afternoon, throngs of Quasi-Democrats took control of population centers throughout the nation. Most of the military, sensing that the government would fall, joined the revolution.
Remnants of the government fled into the jungle, along with the few remaining loyal military units, all to be crushed within 48 hours.

What do you think?? Should I continue??
If i do continue, besides the story I will provide/reveal/etc. the following:
*The name of the man speaking to the crowd, and his cabinet
*A more detailed explenation of "Quasi-Democracy", along with a list of present-day nations I consider "Quasi-Democratic" for comparison.
*The actual AAR from my Brazil game, possibly with screenshots if I can manage it
*Also, if I can manage it, several flags including the FQDR Brazil and the global QD movement (no promises, but i'll try)
