V is for V., of course, and Vheissu
B is for Baedeker-land, and Benny and Beatrice
is it a coincidence that in some languages where B is pronounced as V
in english and vice versa,
those are places where the machinations of the 1st world have
disrupted the attempted construction of the natives' own Baedeker
land? we are their Vheissu!

"Such regulations may, no doubt, be considered as in some respects a
violation of natural liberty. But those exertions of the natural
liberty of a few individuals, which might endanger the security of the
whole society, are, and ought to be, restrained by the laws of all
governments, of the most free as well as of the most despotical." -
Adam Smith
