'Government - Church - Parliament'
Upper town of Zagreb also harbours the most important state institutions. The offices of the Government and the house of Parliament. It is such a pleasure to walk past both places and remind oneself that they are full of diligent people hard working toward the pauperization of the nation.
As clearly pointed out by the flags, we are currently under the occupation of The European Union. That's not bad at all. Croatians were under foreign rulers through the entire history. However, the new masters were silly enough to let us run the country with a sort of half-independence, what resulted in the current state of affairs. What a mistake...
Maybe they did it on purpose. Smart move in that case. One needs to carefully study a nation to let it smoothly destroy its own economy without much help from outside. "Welcome to Croatia, a great tourist spot, the colony of your dreams. Have a coffee, bananas are to your right, proceed to the beach. Don' forget the Coke!" No need for the guards anymore, big brothers are watching over us.
Well, the recipe is not that difficult, if you want to try it at home. Raise the taxes, so that private sector pays more than 65% of income in all sorts of hidden taxation. You'll need that money to feed the army of appx 40% of the population that you'll make dependant on the state so they vote for you on democratic elections.
Destroy the private sector, who needs people who make money? Make sure generations of kids walk out of school as stupid as possible. Import food, make sure peasant's work is worth nothing and give them 'state support', so they don't really need to do anything except wait for the free money all year around. Make sure international corporations have a strong foothold. This will ensure good vibes with the Masters. When you're done, retire in 4-8 years, give others chance to get rich, too. Way in - way out.
Most important of all. Really worry about the outside appearances. Make sure everyone believes that milk and honey flow down the streets and people are rejoicing day after day. The more you lie, the more the lies become believable. In the end, people will hate you anyway. Ignorants have no clue that you are the only one who knows how to lead them into the light. In another life, of course. In this one, gold-plate everything with your tongue. Make sure soccer is the most important news, and how the cat was saved from a tree. Learn a few catchy phrases by heart every morning. You are here to look good on TV. The decisions are made somewhere else, anyway.
Right in the middle, in between the parliament and the government buildings, is this old church. This is where they all go to pray after-hours. The sins will be washed away after a few Hail Maries, right?
Right!
God, please save the Croatian politicians, they are inept to help the nation and have run out of favours with just about everyone else around here.
