the Concavity Cabinet: eliminate own map out of pique — the founding tantrum

The Reconfiguration's coercive climax: when Canada balks, Gentle "THREATENS TO DETONATE UPSIDE-DOWN MISSILES IN U.S. SILOS, IRRADIATE CANADA W/ AID OF ATHSCME HELL-FANS" — willing "to bomb his own nation and toxify neighbors in an insane pout." The whole continental order, the narrator underlines, is founded on a president's tantrum over his neighbor's refusal to accept "O.N.A.N.'s very own vast dump." The map is redrawn by a threat of self-destruction.
