Their system of government is that the incumbent rulers had to be frozen for 80 years and placed in the halls of their government where we were expected to listen and learn about all of the idiosyncrasies of political life. They had this...freezing machine which leaves the subject able to see and hear everything around them. Freakin' weird!
I was stuck between a rock and a hard place though, get married or get killed. Not much of a choice really.
