After the world was ended for the sixteenth time, the Aussichtslos Drogensucht Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung manufactured a, quite frankly, ridiculous number of clones of deceased world leaders in an effort to stack the seats of the United States government with intelligent, proven political minds.
The United States populace, however, voted in a wide array of actors, athletes, fashion icons, fictional characters and inanimate objects, all of whom, under the 32nd amendment, were forced into service under threat of being strapped to a rocket and shot into space.
Left with several thousand clones and an oppressive level of debt, the AD GmbH did the only thing it could: it pit the political leaders against themselves in gladiatorial combat and broadcast the bouts live on Pay-Per-View.
These “debates” took a number of different forms, depending on the leader involved. The George Washingtons were each given an axe and then dropped into a cherry orchard. The Winston Churchills had a drinking contest. Josef Stalin VI killed sixty-two other Stalins in a truly epic snowball fight.
Hoping to stoke an interest in political history in the young male demographic, the Queen Victorias were forced to mud wrestle. To the death.
Queen Victoria XXX defeated seventy-four other versions of herself that day with nothing more than her hands and wet dirt.
