well, here in Hellgium there's five governments for 10 million people, each with their own administration ... the actual trick to save the country in a few dozen years (maybe) would be to go back to one (its a long story starting like 100+ years ago over a language struggle, seeing as this swamp has three official languages, there's been fighting over that, north and south if you like, the flemish cant stand the french, vice versa and the german annex actually never gets bad press but they didnt really choose to be they were damages for the war) ... but so they fought some decades to separate governments, but they didnt separate the country (which would also be a bad idea actually) which means every part has its own , brussels the capital has its own AND is also capital of europe .. something the germans refused cos they're smarter than that, and the poliethics here glady acccepted with stars in their eyes, prestige ...) the provinces of which there are nine also have one each, every town and city has one, AND there's a federal one, so if you 're a business owner that comes down to so much tax you basically start working for yourself by august if you calculate it.
but its the fault of a few 100.000 unemployed and its probably the fault of the syrians ... poverty rising, crime rising, number of cops rising (which also costs a lot of money, to the point where the ones from Flint Town would have their eyeballs roll out if they saw what they get here ...)
and no one ever talks about going back to one administration, there will never be taxes BEFORE the election, i guess you know that game too

and Luke's gotta eat, and if Luke can't eat, some Lukes dont go hungry and yea they just approved a new budget for the military too (to go fight somewhere on the other side of the planet for someone elses cause and yea)

i hear ya
