Latest strip: 253 – Tuesday, March 24, 2026

Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: Ghovernment

Strip 253. The team tries to find answers to the obvious question who is now controlling the future country.
References: Guinness World Record for longest time without a government in peacetime
Heidi: I find it impossible to believe the country remained functional during the whole time its government became mummified. I know Belgium sometimes needs more than a year to set up their new government, but this is an entirely different situation…

Steve: It does not appear they killed themselves through an act of stupidity. Everything indicates they have been murdered, and the killers must have seamlessly taken over control.
Adil: Then there must be at least one truly smart person in this world.

View of OIB-A271 in the real world amidst the simulation machines.
Heidi (voice): There must be some kind of “ghost government.” OIB-A271, any indications of where it could be located?
OIB-A271: I need at least some hints to know what to look for. There is just too much data to sift through, and having to unblock it makes it worse.
Heidi (voice): OK, we'll call back if we find anything.
