“Even Truth Needs To Be Made Pretty If It Wants To Go On A Date.”
The Office of Propaganda is charged with one of the most subtle yet essential duties of the Crown: ensuring that the truth, beauty, and ideological clarity of the Kingdom are communicated with such elegance and persuasion that no one ever questions them. Where the facts may whisper, the Office ensures they are accompanied by rousing banners, tasteful fonts, and the occasional brass band.
Let it be clear: the Office does not fabricate truths—it simply assists them in being noticed, admired, and emotionally appreciated. After all, even the finest statue benefits from a plinth.
🏛️ Mandate and Activities
🗞️ Public Messaging Strategy
Shapes the tone, imagery, and narrative of government campaigns, from war bonds to public hygiene. Often includes catchphrases like “A Clean Kingdom is a Keen Kingdom” and “Save Ink—Think Before You Scribble.”
🖼️ Visual Communications
Designs everything from recruitment posters to fiscal confidence campaigns. Strong diagonal lines, heroic jawlines, and a striking red are used only when entirely necessary.
📢 National Morale Enhancement
Works with choirs, poster artists, and official poets to ensure the national spirit remains buoyant—even during pothole season.
🎭 Cultural Programming & National Symbols
Collaborates with state theatres, schools, and artists to shape the Kingdom’s symbolic identity and reinforce the majesty of shared mythologies (all absolutely true, if selectively remembered).
