Silly, both Eastasia and Eurasia are the anticountries trying to bring down the doubleplusgood Oceania, set up by greatleader Big Brother!

Oh. Then I rescind my backhanded-sounding compliment. Seems unnecessary to have one for each.
I was referencing a scene in 1984 where a speaker for the Party changes the country Oceania is fighting from Eurasia to Eastasia mid-speech, and the crowd just goes with it.

Yeah. I figured it was something I didn't get. I just wanted to say rescind and dickishly take back my dickish compliment.

I haven't read 1984(obviously). I usually try to only read writers I want to emulate.

You don't use freedom Penguin. First you demand it, then you have it.
No using. That's not what freedom is for.

COWACRACY: You have two humans. The government tells you when to milk them. This is just gross, you move on to another form of government.

FARMOCRACY : You have two cows. You are richer than the man with three eggs, but poorer than the man with seven pigs.

But think of the calves! They'll grow up without strong bones if they don't get human milk!

FARMOCRACY : You have two cows. You are richer than the man with three eggs, but poorer than the man with seven pigs.
MURDOCRACY: You'll show that seven-pig having bastard, and take a third wife once he has his "slaughterhouse accident". Oh no! The man with three eggs saw you! Luckly, he "fell down some stairs" and broke his neck. You are now richest man in country!

Capitalism: You milk the two cows. You sell the milk. You sell one, get a loan and buy a bull. Then you sell calves and grow your herd.

Oh no! The man with three eggs saw you!

I find this intensely funny for some reason. Perhaps because it sounds like something that may be said to the player in an old text based adventure? XD

The Federal Government decides to place high taxes on non-incorporated farms to increase production, and you lose all your money. Game Over.

I was referring to how capitalism should work. No punchline needed as I endorse laissiez-faire captialism.

DRACOCRACY-You have two cows. A dragon eats one of them. When you complain, the dragon eats you and gives the other cow to his mate.

MAGOCRACY-You have two cows. The wizards take one of them and turn it into a demon-cow. It escapes and kills you and the other cow with its fire-breath.

BOVINOCRACY-You have two cows. They take over the government and have you executed.

INSANOCRACY-You have negative eleventy two and nine quarters Netches. They bark at you, then go off to terrorize a microscopic alien invasion force.

Optimistocracy: You have two cows, and with hard work and sound financial planning, you may one day rule your own cow empire!

Pessimistocracy: No you won't.

Nihilocracy: You had two cows, but they didn't matter. Nothing matters. Now they're gone, just like you and everything else will be someday.

Hinduocracy: You have two cows. Awesome!

RAAAAAAAAAAGEocracy: You have two cows. They have never given birth and thus cannot produce milk. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

HarvestMoonocracy: You have two cows. They produce glass bottles filled with milk, and brushing their coat and talking to them improves the quality.

Entrocracy: There are no cows. Not anymore. There aren't any humans anymore either. All matter and energy has seeped out of our imperfect universe and now there is nothing. Even time has decayed away.
