gollark: Well, he did get elected somehow, this is unsurprising.
gollark: The FSG™ is governed by the inscrutable outputs of a few trillion-parameter neural networks and it "works" excellently.
gollark: I quite like Iceland, but I don't actually know much about its governance and just know it has some neat scenery.
gollark: Antarctica?
gollark: Also fairly true!
