Local government

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Local goverment is, while local, not really a government at all, being that it lacks the necessary 'N'. Primarily occurring in the less-developed states of the United States of America, like Texas, Oklahoma or Russia, local government is the practice of setting up a government intended solely to govern a small radius. But, almost always realizing that the attempt to govern over geometric distances and figures is fruitless, these entities then attempt to govern small amounts of territory including, but not limited to, cities and towns.

[edit] Examples

Arlington, Texas: In 1932, the Rathbone family expatriated from the Democratic Republic of Their House and set up a small colony in the uncharted territory of Their Neighbour's Lawn in order to escape religious persecution set about by their hamster. They were deported back to their former homeland by Harold Williams, the Pope of the Theocracy of the Williams Residence, where the hamster-dictator ordered them all killed, then proceeded to run on his exercise wheel for fourteen minutes.

Eskridge, Kansas: In 2006, the Berry Tractor company sold a small bull-dozer to a single family outside the "city" of Topeka. This family applied to the Kansan "government" for the creation of a township. They were awarded the rights to start a town based on the fact that they had a bull-doser.

Odessa, Russia: In 1963, Vladimir Nameski declared that his front lawn was his property, therefore giving him the right to govern it as he wished. He declared that on his front lawn, prostitution was to be legal and he could butt ahead in any bread line. He soon realized that there were no prostitutes or bread lines in front of his house, sold his front lawn back to the Kremlin for $10,000,000 RU, bought himself some high-class hookers, and was immediately jailed for illegal prostitution.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: In 1995, in the world record for "Smallest Local Government", one Doris Henderson, upset by having a bad hair day, declared her hair as its own government. She then added it to the Axis of Personal Evil, along with a malfunctioning microwave in the kitchen and her son's failing grade on a math test. She declared war on her hair when it refused to cooperate to her styling demands, and called upon the US army for militaristic aid in her battle with her unstyleable hair. After a brief skirmish, including a tense showdown between Donald Rumsfeld and the nation of Doris' Hair, a sniper shot took out the rogue nation. Sadly, it is believed that Doris' Hair enlisted the aid of suicide bombers, as Doris Henderson was taken down with her hair in an explosion of blood and the prevailence of democracy.
