...That's Oppo's wikibox, though, isn't it?
That'll teach me to pay attention to what's in my clipboard, sorry. Yeah, it's broken for me now, too.

Is it just me, or is the image broken?
So I looked at the "National Planning Board" (and presence of the "Ceremonial Official for the Constitution") and thought, 'you know, this doesn't sound like a hugely healthy democracy, no? In fact, it sounds like a pretty technocratic hydraulic-Keynesian regime that swings hard to the left sometime in the late '90s or early '00s.' Armed with that inference and a copy of QGIS, I picked a city - I think I picked it completely randomly - and made this:A brilliant statesman and public speaker who never became president…could it have been because of his Dutch heritage?

Which I eventually passed to @Excelsior
Possible to jump in as a late entrant?
I'd be happy with a fifth round happening, and I certainly don't have any ownership over the concept - go right ahead.Too late for this time around I think - I believe @Excelsior 's was the final image.
However, if people are interested we could go for a 5th round at some point soon? I'd be happy to start it myself so long as people are ok (particularly @Wolfram as you ran this one.
