Are the leaders just too grey and boring for your liking?
Then maybe you should consider a move to beautiful Turkmenistan! Here, the inspired leadership of Saparmurat Niyazov (or Turkmenbashi to we mere mortals) will liven up your life, and with a cabinet reshuffle and high-level sacking on a virtual daily basis, there's never a dull moment!
Not convinced yet? Well how about this:
Yes, it's a gold statue of Niyazov, which rotates to ensure that he is always facing the sun!
Or maybe this will sway you:
Opera and ballet banned due to being being "unnecessary"!
Lip-synching and recorded music banned!
Gold teeth banned, long hair and beards in young men discouraged!
The "ages of man" redefined, and the months renamed!
National celebrations for "Melon Day"!
Hospitals outwith the capital closed!
Ice palace planned for middle of desert!
Driving test revised to include section on Niyazov's book of "spiritual" sayings!
Said book blasted into space!
And best of all:
He writes poetry!
Truly an inspiration to us all, I'm sure you'll agree. I'm off to buy me a one-way ticket to Turkmenistan!
