Someonce once said, "We used to live in counties ruled by counts, in kingdoms ruled by kings and in duchies ruled by dukes. Now we live in countries."

Where we live is a fiction, and our attachment to that fiction can lead us into some pretty strange places. If you want to know more, have a listen.

CORRECTION: It's 6, not 7. If you listen, and you know, you know. If not, just smile and wave.
