Cultus ex bestiae personalita

Cultus ex bestiae personalita, or literally the cult of bestial (animal) personality or informally the furry fandom's control over Aschsenland is a hot topic in the South Britannic Union concerning the appointment of anthropomorphic characters as leaders of Aschsenland and the union. Both the Communists and Conservatives are against this idea of making literal animals leaders of Aschsenland, which may lead to the UCSSBR being passed off as a furry state. Furries are commonly slandered against in the real world for the possibility of committing literal bestiality (most especially Western furries), for common execution of attitudes commonly found in animals, including sexual acts, and for mostly being composed of the homosexual community, which in itself is an entire different issue, which throws further slander to the LGBTQ+ movement for the same aforementioned reasons, although the UCSSBR has the most homosexuals in any country relative to population.

Info
This topic goes as far back as 2014 when Aschsenland's leaders were the mane 6. However, as leadership was swiftly lent back to Matt in 2016, this issue was settled. It was only then in October 2017 when this sparked again, with the appointment of Isabelle as the president of Caelorussia, the forerunner of the UCSSBR. This further ignited in late 2019 with the appointment of Carmen, further in 2020 with the introduction of the Cuniculae Primordium ruling party, and finally in late 2020 with Retsuko as Regina UCSRBM.

A Terrible Fortress
Retsuko makes her debut in this episode, wherein she is seen giving a livestream via Instagram (as a reference to her usage of it in the Netflix adaptation) about her replacing Carmen as the supreme leader or generalissimo of Aschsenland and its parent union the Union of Carmelite Socialist South Britannic Republics (Latin: Unio de Carmelitus Socialista autem Respublicae Britannica Meridianae). Pencil is seen watching this livestream along with Match, and they were disgusted, as 'the nation's becoming increasingly furry as we know it'. Nonetheless, as this is indeed the Retsuko, lots of people hearted the live video and as soon as the stream ended, although they were in the middle of the currently-empty AschseneCompact condo tower, Pencil and Match heard the cheers of people from far away, as well as the national anthem, which is basically das Deutschlandlied but with different lyrics. Alongside that, Pencil and Match are Conservatives, which made their relationship with the Communist Parliament weaken further.
