A Tihlandian Super Secret Scientific Project

The Kingdom of Tihland is constantly undergoing special super secret scientific projects. The one that has received the most attention by our press is our desire to build a robotic race. Of course, the Tihlandian press only hears rumors of such tales, but they have gotten smarter since the ongoing release of the secret projects to the general public. We decided to remove the use of national idenfitication cards and barcodes on loyal subjects to the throne of Tihland to let the people worry about something besides the government. We've had interesting results.

Anyway, our robotic race is to help our standards of living by forcing the robots to do tasks that humans should no longer do due to health and safety issues. It only makes sense to force a manmade machine do mankind's work. We have even started developing robots specifically designed to fix the other robots. The positronic brains used in these beings are thoroughly amazing. As King of Tihland, I am impressed by our scientists.

But as a member of the U.N., I do have concerns with the use of robots in this fashion. Is it ethical to force these beings to do this work? Especially considering these robots have brains as fast as humans, if not faster. I believe that this is something we should discuss as an organization.

But on top of that, the Kingdom of Tihland is selling robots to other nations for 10 million Bobort Bucks a piece. Wait, hold on...I just got word from Guard Farid that we probably shouldn't charge that much. The Kingdom of Tihland is swimming in Bobort Bucks with the taxes at 100%. Thankfully, we're a very financially responsible nation, so we have plenty saved. Therefore, by my order, I decree that the robots shall be sold for 100 Bobort Bucks. I do this for the future of mankind, the progress of all that is good. Please send all orders on this board or through telegram.

Thank you!
Yours royally,
King Bobort
