The Black Sheep
Gravinia is now one of the world's fastest growing economies. Tourists visit our seaside, Germany buys our TVs. Literacy and education are up, crime and inequality are down, and we're considered the prime example of an up-and-coming, efficient democracy. Towns are erecting statues of me without even being ordered to and I won 90% of votes in the last election without having to bribe or kill anyone. A little bird told me I might even be listed for the Nobel Peace Prize. My family has disowned me, of course. I'm the black sheep, the failure, the turncoat. But really, they've got it all wrong. I'm totally evil. I'm just playing the long game.
