5 Feet of Fury

You call it an ironic fictional parody, I call it Canada!

A more ironic or parody government, a logocracy is a government ruling through words.

Described in Washington Irving’s 1807 work, Salmagundi, a logocracy is a government that uses tricky wording to control its people.

The Soviet Union has been accused of being a logocracy, citing that it’s language was a ”stereotyped jargon consisting of formulas and empty slogans, whose purpose was to prevent people from thinking outside the boundaries of collective thought”. George Orwell’s 1984 is a good example of a logocracy, and used the Soviet Union’s “Neo-language” as the basis for it’s Newspeak.
