“We were in a fix, and no mistake. On one hand we saw the wreck of humanity and a never-ending night. On the other, half of Europe in slavery under That Monster.”

Interview with Sir Winston Churchill, as used in the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) TV series ‘The The World at War: Episode 1, The Dark War’, 1963

First Citizen of Ironopolis Was a Steam Donkey
Registry clerical error never corrected.

The steam engine, or 'steam donkey', was known as Lady Louise and was entered onto the registry as a practical joke, with the assembled landowners and bigwigs assuming the clerk would realise.

Unfortunately not.

Lady Louise remained in use until the 1860's after which time it disappeared from the records.
