Full utilitarianism. Pacific Ocean is now "Ocean 1". Atlantic is "Ocean 2". So on, and so forth.

And we're serializing the countries while we're at it (random number assignment, no major economy gets to have #1 for ego reasons). I can already see the signs: "Country 4 is #1!".

Every flag is a solid pantone color. Every anthem is a localization of Riding Nerdy by Weird Al.

Oooh!

  • Australia could be "Hot and Deadly"
  • Most of the Southern US could be "Poor and Backward-y"
  • Lots of locations in South America could be "Lush and Birdy".
  • The border between Russia and Ukraine could be "War Incurred-y"
  • Washington DC could be "Trump's Diaper Filled with Turdies"
  • An alternative for Auatralia is "Cunt isnt a swear word-y"
  • The whole planet could be "the fact that we havent released the unredacted Epstein files is absurd-y"

I was very against what you said.

But then you brought up Weird Al, so now I'm on board.

Don't use numbers as they indicate a priority.

Use random 32 bit base64 strings instead. You can technically order them but not in a useful sense.

Fine, every country gets a UUID and is a file in /var

Actually, let's order the countries based on their citizen happiness ranking. If being #1 is a point of ego, let's make that the metric they're all striving to be on top of.

United States at #1, president says ignore the men holding guns, they are NOT coercing people into saying they're happy, healthy, and alive.

This reads like song lyrics.
