Airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, traditional vegetarians are fuming over the introduction of vat-grown meat to the menu, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime is totally unknown. Chear's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
