Some of you who once attended Enloe High School in Raleigh may
remember a strange phenomenon known as the fluctuating-border
sidewalk. The sidewalk in front of Enloe was sometimes a part of
campus and other times outside of campus, depending on who the
administration wanted to discipline, and for what. The general
rule was:

1. If you are hanging out on the sidewalk during school hours,
including lunch, you can be busted for being off-campus without a
pass.
2. However, if you are smoking a cigarette on this same sidewalk,
you can get busted for smoking on-campus.

This apparent contradiction was quite problematic for many
students. Of course, all Oligarchy members who went to Enloe have
long since graduated; but as you know, upon our takeover of the
world, Enloe will be rebuilt as the Enloe Oligarchy Government
Complex, the seat of global government.

With this in mind, it is hereby decreed that the Enloe sidewalk
shall be a foreign nation independent of the Oligarchy, unless
you are smoking a cigarette there. If you have a lit cigarette,
you can visit this sidewalk and still be within the bounds of the
Oligarchy. However, a non-smoker would be in a foreign nation.
Crossing the sidewalk to enter or leave Enloe is fine, but if you
spend more than 20 seconds on the sidewalk, you must have either
a cigarette or a passport.

The effects of smoking a joint on this sidewalk are unknown as of
yet. Experiments are underway to clear up this nebulous issue.

If you are not smoking a cigarette, you are still on Oligarchy
territory, even if someone else is smoking.

See above. This could be an interesting way to "sign an
international treaty," but most people smoke afterwards, not
during. Plus, I would thing the concrete would be painful, though
some may be into such things. Perhaps if you backed your car over
the sidewalk, it would be doable.

Both members of the first couple to create such an international
incident are automatically eligible for the rank of Junior God.
