National Hero

In the small island state of Eurapagis, a new national hero emerged.

Born into a rich family, he eventually became richer.

Trained in the highly technical subject of word-play, he succeeded in the field of administration, a profession that was dominated by women. This was considered a rare feat because he did not engage in any office politics.

He avoided office politics by bootlicking while others were currying favour, and currying favour while others were bootlicking.

Thus, he was considered to be both creative and bi-talented, notable skills that were highly valued in Eurapagis.

Eventually, he un-politicked his way to the top by bootlicking a large and powerful country, which coincidentally was the country that the government of Eurapagis had always wanted to bootlick.

As a result, he earned enormous gobs of money which he respectfully and unapologetically flaunted to the public by buying expensive goods like luxury cars and boats.

A summary of his contributions to society:

1. Exemplar of the classic rich-to-richer story

2. Bi-talented in both bootlicking and currying favour

3. Creative switching between bootlicking and currying favour

For his outstanding wealth, bi-talented talents and creativity - he was hailed as the Eurapagis Man of Year by the government.

The crowds cheered their new hero.
