The Bureaucratic Hub is the center of all bureaucracy in the nation of RandomlyDrawnBorders (RDB), which has become too big to realize that it has already failed. Good, talented people sometimes work there, although not for very long.
Jhn Larbo, who suffers from a spelling mistake in his birth certificate and whose name is pronounced 'John' applies there, in the hopes of righting the many wrongs of the bureaucracy, as well as landing a stable job. He shoots through a rather unusual bureaucratic career, characterized by a marked difference between reality and his perception.
Things happen and he gets dragged along for the ride; he has very little say in the development of events, but that is not how he sees things. He has a short and highly selective memory, which serves him well in keeping alive the illusion of his ability.
This would have been a story of intertwining bureaucratic ineptitude and cunning, except that in RDB cunning is still waiting in line at passport control because its entry visa had the wrong color ink.
