Parasite City is not all marble and monuments to power:
Along the waterfront, another structure named for an Imperator comes into view.
Some of the tabernacles of marble, indeed, venerate truly great figures of the Empire's history:
The wise eternal words of the greatest of our Founding Fathers have been preserved for the ages:
It would behoove our current Leadership to learn by example.
Indeed, perhaps the impulse to enshrine our god-Leaders on a grand scale has declined over time as a growing proportion of Imperial peons rejects the Leader worship cult:
Indeed.
But in the end, Parasite City continues to venerate and worship power, glory, and the unearned privilege of the ruling class:
Thus concludes our tour of the Empire's fatal centre.
