It would be Nazi Germany. There was a cult of personalty around the leader (andy). If you are a certain type of person (Liberal), you are killed.

I think it would be something like Romania in the 1970s. Technologically backwards, superstitious and you would never know from one moment to the next whether you might just be grabbed off the streets never to be seen again. --Horace 20:46, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

I won't hazard a suggestion of my own. My knowledge of world history is rather basic—my options would be limited to various points in major western nations' histories. --Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 21:11, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

North Korea. Impoverished, isolationistic, massive propaganda, and a cult of personality around the Great Leader. --Gulik 01:00, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

I'll second North Korea, adding that the current Great Leader's would have been nobody had he not been the son of a previous Great Leader. --SpinyNorman 00:07, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
If fictional countries count, though, then I'd say it's got to be Elbonia, from the Dilbert comic strip.--SpinyNorman 00:07, 7 July 2008 (EDT)


Poland, around the time of World War I, II, III, and 0. Kektklik sock 00:13, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

I was going to say Nicolae Ceauşescu's Romania but I see it's been done. SusanG  ContribsTalk 00:23, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
(Or, of course, Mordor. (name the Ringwraiths anyone?)00:26, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Cold War Albania. Like Ceauşescu's Romania, but without the glitter. PFoster 00:29, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Forgot about Albania (doesn't everyone?). They did, & have, a thing about Norman Wisdom, so they're probably not that appropriate. SusanG  ContribsTalk 00:35, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
If real and current, I would say North Korea before they disarmed their nuke thingy a little while ago. If real and historical I would say Romania in the early 1400's, specifically the region Wallachia, because anybody who has read Bram Stoker knows who the Andy of that time and place was. If fictional, the Global Community of Nicolae Carpathia. Thats right, I read it. --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* Get to the bunker 01:02, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

It would be Nazi Germany. There was a cult of personalty around the leader (andy). If you are a certain type of person (Liberal), you are killed. And there was also a secret resistance against Hitler back in the time, not to mention we would be the Allies.--Bobby 23:18, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

Not to mention that And.. Hitler seldom gave orders to his immediate circle of acolytes, but let them anticipate his wishes, and he hardly ever intervened in the turf war squabbles between his sy.. gauleiters. Fretfulporpentine 05:02, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
Godwin's law. Konstanty 01:32, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

North Korea, as Christopher Hitchens says: George Orwell's 1984 was published at about the time that Kim Il Sung set up his system, and it really is as if he got hold of an early copy of the novel and used it as a blueprint. ("Hmmm … good book. Let's see if we can make it work.")

Zimbabwe as I've said before. Mugabe blames Britain for all his country's woes, Schlafly blames liberals. They have both run their "project" into the ground and allow their thugs to beat up, intimidate and kill-off the opposition. Jollyfish.gifGenghisGum disease 04:15, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
