      I always wondered about how that monument in Civilisations games lets you change government type with no turns lost to riots

      I guess we get to see if that works IRL

        Perhaps the statue should be more of a trophy, moved from nation to nation depending on how focused that nation is on creating opportunity for the least among us, how accepting they are of the poor, tired, and broken peoples of the world, how committed they are to escalating the cause of human dignity.

        Saying “written” suggests to me that you’re referring to the sonnet, “The New Colossus”, which was inspired by the statue the French made, but was written by an American poet, Emma Lazarus.
