The Imagination of the State can cover a great expanse depending on what it wants to do with its naughty and not-so-naughty citizens. It's when the state morphs into Supreme Creator that the power of its imagination is truly unleashed, spanning everything from the humorous and sublime, to the horrifically macabre. The stories redacted here highlight only a few of the inventive ways an all-seeing, all-knowing, and all-controlling state, a veritable Mother as such, uses its creative powers and vision in order to command and control life for all her children. One would wish these stories were fiction.
