Which is the easiest country to steal in 2026?
In 1933, just 432 elected politicians suspended the German constitution and gave Adolf Hitler unlimited control over the other 66 million German citizens. It didn’t end well.
Could anyone pull off a similar theft of a democratic country in 2026? That’s the question that inspired Nation Heist 2026. We’ve identified the country’s that will be easiest to steal today. We’ve also combined the heist ease with other factors to help aspiring dictators pick the perfect target. Including:
- The best country if you want to play in the FIFA World Cup
- The best country if you want to date (screw) beautiful women
- The best country if you want a Nobel prize
- Plus lots more...

The wealthy have been laughing at us for 12,000 years – it’s not funny anymore!
In a fictional, yet familiar world that occasionally intersects our own, we listen in as aspiring authoritarian leader, Hugo Sensationist, persuades rising liberal star, Troy Laboy, to switch sides. In the process we get to consider the many different times that the nation of Everything could have stopped being great, all the time highlighting the huge unfairness in society.
Surely the recipe for a dark and dull, yet worthy snoozefest. Nope, they’re an oddball pair who swing effortlessly between wisdom and stupidity, ensuring a gutbustingly funny and greased easy read to make even the least questioning of us ask, “Whose side am I on?”
If you reach the end and aren’t cheering for the losers, you’re clearly one of the sleazy, grubbing upper-class barstewards who’ve been laughing at the rest of us for 12,000 years. Congratulations, but it just ain’t funny anymore.
Answer me this
The richest 10% of Americans could pay off the US national debt with less than a third of their wealth.
Fair or Unfair?
Before you answer the question, consider Jethro’s village.
Imagine an early farming village from 10,000 years ago, where the people are able to grow an excess of food, mainly wheat grain, year after year. There’s enough food for everyone and the chief’s family build warehouses to store the excess food.
The warehouses full of food help the chief cement his power and increase his status compared to the rest of the people. After many years of this, the chief starts to borrow excess food from nearby villages and he builds more warehouses to store even more food that he doesn’t need.
As he borrowed the food, rather than buying it, he has to pay interest to the other villages. However, he forces the rest of the people in his village to pay the interest out of their own food.
Now, substitute the USA for the village and substitute money for food. That’s how the wealthiest Americans have accumulated almost a third of their wealth. They’ve used their influence over politicians to get the government to borrow money and give it to the wealthy, even though they don’t need it. The government has then forced the rest of the people to pay the interest.
Wealthy Americans will say it’s unfair to make them pay off the debt with money they earned. But they didn’t earn it. If you’re American, they forged your signature on a loan application and then hid the money under their mattress, while tricking your bank into setting up a monthly payment to pay the interest.
In mid 2025, the wealthiest 10% of Americans had almost $112 trillion while the national debt was about $37 trillion. The debt wasn’t even a third of the wealth owned by the 10%.
Like Jethro’s village never needed to borrow more food, the US never needed to borrow more money.
So is it fair to insist the wealthy use the money they borrowed to pay for the debt they created?
Dress on point
Remember, the revolution will be televised, so turning up naked’s not an option. If you’re going to be dressed, might as well be dressed on point, no?
We’re losers, you and I. It’s time to wear it as a badge of honor and let the losers of the world know exactly whose side you are on.
The Racket
Doomed, for ducks sack, as the wealthy walk all over us
Jethro H. Forclift’s upcoming book, The Racket: Doomed, for ducks sack, as the wealthy walk all over us, shines a light on the truth about nationhood and patriotism. If you’ve ever wondered why the poorest 50% of Americans own just 2.5% of the US’s wealth, why the figure is 3% in Russia, 4% in the EU and just under 6% in the UK, The Racket will explain what’s going on.
Truth is, it’s so obvious, you’ll hate yourself for looking the other way all your life.
Due 2026, The Racket is the bastard offspring of an Epstein-ish three-way between Scheidel’s The Great Leveler, Hirschfeld’s Gangster States and Kemp’s Goliath’s Curse, but with the nob gags the readers love.
