Many prominent politicians in the Crimson Court have largely rejected communist "orthodoxy", believing that such steadfast, uncompromising ideals are the bygone relics of a former era. Embittered and hardened by decades of realpolitik and Cold War opportunism, the idealism of communism has all but evaporated from the ethos of Machan politicians. Their heroes - their icons - have mellowed with age, follow rules that they once disobeyed, now being led when they used to lead the way. The spirit of revolution that once propelled the Machan nation from a backwards kingdom into the forefront of the world is kept by ball and chain in its cage, where it may be taken out in ceremony and returned to its incarceration when its veneration is no longer appropriate. Does Macha still believe in all the things that it stood by before? Does it care to be the architect of what it may create? Or are the ideals of the past a death-spiral that will seal its undoing? [b]Let The Bad Times Roll[/b] Machanese culture has undergone something of a renaissance with the blossoming of its film industry, but not in its limelight. The birthplace of Macha's famous music and greatest artworks had no place in cinemas or galleries, but in basements and garages, where its most acclaimed musicians, painters, and filmmakers passed cassettes between hands in private parties. Formally, the act of publishing without license by the Press Authority of Macha is illegal, yet the ubiquitous presence of these "pirate pieces" leaves the effectiveness of this legislation to be questionable. In one district, the artist of pirated art may find himself jailed for ten years, while in the district not 5 kilometers away, he will be discharged without even a warning by the same authority. The Press authorities have largely had a...lethargic response to these illegal activities. Hardliners in the Party insist that the Machan cultural underground will be a breeding ground for counterrevolutionaries and reactionaries, but others say they're just kids. Even so, the exotic, illicit appeal of these quasi-legal art pieces bring incredible prestige to Machan culture. Maybe the Party's hold on media should finally come to an end? Yet, hardliners warn the old time-tested adage: If you give a mouse a cookie, the entire pantry will follow soon after...
