At a special gathering of the Pizzaonian Monasteries, Sister Veronica, Supreme Pizzaonian, was honored for her continuing inspired leadership for Pizzaonia.
Pizzaonia, a beta-world country, remains a peaceful and prosperous country and looks to the future as an inspiration for other countries to follow eventually. Sister Veronica has no illusions about the Pizzaonian formula for peace and prosperity working elsewhere.
“We know we have a special circumstance in Pizzaonia. Due to the privilege of living in a beta-world environment, we can do things that are impossible anywhere else.
We also have the privilege of living in a country that resolved the differences in our people, not by diluting the differences, or attempting to blend them into some sort of artificial, homogenized culture, but by honoring our unique differences with mutual respect and admiration," said Sister Veronica. "Everyone has a seat and voice at our table."
The turning point in Pizzaonian politics came at the election now known as the “no vote election.” Pizzaonian politics had reached an impasse and ceased to be effective. Disagreements could no longer be resolved. Ironically, during the time of the political impasse, the government grew larger and spent more money than ever before. Nothing could seem to stop the endless process of dysfunctional government.
Then it happened. When it came time to vote in the national election, not a single Pizzaonian voter showed up at the polls. The country was stunned. Not a single vote was cast. Even more strange, not a single politician voted for himself or herself.
This convinced Pizzaonians that government was no longer useful, and the national and local governments disbanded. Since that time, Pizzaonians have lived in prosperity with all factions, business, political and cultural all living together in a functioning, respectful society.
To this day, Pizzaonia lives peacefully with no government or wars.
