| Publisher Description: Aissur is the country everyone loves to ignore Now, in an attempt to develop tourism and for the first time, the President of Aissur has released some fables that had until now only been lived by the enduring peoples of this quiet quintessential country rife with politics. The seven stories in this collection are as follows: 'Party of 1'Aissur, 1974 Len Gregorik owns land that borders with Russia. His evil twin owns the land in Russia next to his. When the evil twin dies doing an evil deed, his five acres of rocky wooded land is willed to Gregorik. The Russians claim that this is a blatant attempt at land grabbing by Aissur and that they are under attack. 'Endings Are Lonely Affairs'Aissur, 1974President Nanovik is arrested in public while at the grand opening of a new subway station, so a new election is held and Nanovik's son wins as voters sympathize with a son in pain.

But will this be enough to prevent the next assassination?'The Andropov Permission Slip' Aissur, 1984There is a new document circulating that offers Aissurians a stress-free life free from bureaucracy.

Three days later the queen's will is read making her dog Whimsy king of the land and Whimsy's keeper his chief advisor.
