Sobre IBD

A masterpiece of political speculation... Walters gives us an Australian government elected in 2013 that proves itself vastly unpopular. Fearing electoral defeat in 2016, various forces in and around the government conspire to abort the impending election. Dictatorship ensues. Concerned citizens flee north, establishing a breakaway province, and eventually the world’s newest nation state, Aricia. Stark modern politics? Fanciful history? Parody? Or the ravings of a deluded madman?
