Under my regime, all laws will be written in hymn form for the sake of ease of understanding and memorization.
Government is an essential and good part of the natural order of the universe. To be anti-government generally is thus to support the destruction of the good, to be against the nomos, against the order of the world. So, to be anti-government is to be... evil.

Dr. Porcu points out this example of the Greek constitution as an example of the sort of language you'd expect to find in a Christian nation.

You can also find similar language in a few other places.

Ireland (1937):
In the name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred, We, the people of Éire, Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial.


Hungary (2011):
God bless the Hungarians... We recognize the role of Christianity in preserving nationhood... We are proud that our king Saint Stephen built the Hungarian State on solid ground and made our country a part of Christian Europe one thousand years ago.


Samao (2017):
Samoa is a Christian nation founded on God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.


This does raise a question: is such a Christian declaration sufficient, necessary, neither, or both for a country to be good?

You cannot divorce the question "how should we run society?" from the question "what is the highest good?" And the United States' civic documents really try to do this, they try to divorce these two questions; they say "what the highest good is, we're not going to define, as we're not going to establish a religion, and we're not going to prohibit any religions, either. We're not going to establish any 'goodness' outside of 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'"... That's not a vision of a high moral order. That's actually an explicit attempt to ignore the question of the ultimate moral reality of the universe.
The Apotheosis of Washington. You are assured that this imagery is totally normal and not at all strange or weird. Ignore your instinct. Thank you.
The right wing might not be capable of organizing to actually accomplish anything, but it's really good at sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to trashy white women. You have to give it credit for that.

Trenary Eggnog French Toast:

In a baking dish, prepare a mixture of 3 eggs, half a cup of eggnog, a dash of salt, and a splash of vanilla.

Whisk together until well blended.

Soak six slices of Trenary
Cinnamon Toast in the mixture for 30 minutes on each side. NOTE: If you try this with regular bread, soak in mixture only for a minute or so per side. Otherwise the bread will fall apart.

Fry in butter over medium heat until golden brown.

Hangin' out with Kim Jong Un—Chairman Kim, as I call him. We have a fantastic relationship. A beautiful friendship. He taught me how to play Janggi; wonderful game; many people say it takes a lifetime to learn. I learned it in a few minutes. I have a very high aptitude for strategy, everyone knows this. Kim is tough, he’s a killer on the board, but I saw angles he didn't see. I moved my missile silos—boom, boom—and it was all over. A total checkmate. Or whatever they call it over there. It was a beautiful victory. But anyways... He kept mentioning how he thought that this upper peninsula is fantastic. "The people's peninsula," he calls it. He takes one look at the UP—and he knows beauty, folks, believe me—he looks at it and he says to me, "Sir, the UP is beautiful. It’s perfect. Just perfect." He sees the snow—tremendous amounts of snow, beautiful white snow—and he wants it, he wants that snow in his country right now. We’re talking, we’re communicating, and things are happening very, very fast. The fake news channels like Voter Apathy Party and Cobson's Crusty Cheese Factory have said, "You can't export that much snow, it's impossible," but I told them, "Wrong." We are looking at it very strongly, and I think we’re close to something that is going to be—I don't want to say it's done, but it's looking very good. We’re talking about a deal that is so spectacular that people are going to be talking about it for a long, long time.
