Okay, so we know there is a King­dom of Moko Jumbies near to the equa­to­r­i­al belt just six miles from the South Amer­i­can con­ti­nent. Maybe it is the lo­ca­tion of this king­dom near the in­ter­sec­tion of the north and south poles that dis­con­nects the sens­es of the chief­tains from re­al­i­ty. Maybe they are fight­ing too many fires sparked by equa­to­r­i­al heat and their brains are now fried, leav­ing cit­i­zens in doubt as to their abil­i­ty to man­age com­pe­tent­ly the af­fairs of the king­dom.

One thing is for cer­tain: this king­dom is not on­ly suf­fer­ing the ill ef­fects of nox­ious land­fill fires and oil spills, there is al­so an epi­dem­ic of foot-in-mouth dis­ease, and too much chupid­ness go­ing on at any one time to find equi­lib­ri­um.It is a dizzy­ing state wors­ened by in­creas­ing mur­ders, ju­ve­nile delin­quen­cy, and rape of chil­dren, which is, os­ten­si­bly, a sur­prise to pub­lic chiefs.

For some time, gov­er­nance has been strained. That does not mean a lot of good work is not hap­pen­ing, but the qual­i­ty of mer­cy for cit­i­zens is al­so strained; oth­er­wise they'll not be sub­ject­ed to con­stant psy­cho­log­i­cal tor­ment.It is an un­for­tu­nate sit­u­a­tion be­cause there are many at­trac­tive and re­deem­ing at­trib­ut­es of the king­dom. High in its favour is the pa­tience of cit­i­zens.Un­der siege by crim­i­nals, the king and his chief­tains ap­par­ent­ly do not ap­pre­ci­ate the need for sta­bil­i­ty at the helm of the Po­lice Ser­vice.
