Erebusian Technocrats

In the depths of a damp, grey cave, a group of visionaries gather to form the Erebusian Technocrats.

A new policy requires all citizens to fill out a 37-page form in triplicate for every minor purchase.

To deal with the overwhelming number of redundant forms, the Department of Redundancy is created.

Due to a clerical error, the entire city's permits and licenses are delayed by 6 months.

A new system replaces all paper forms with an even more complex, soul-sucking online interface.

After 10 years of chaos, the Technocrats return, armed with new ideas (and more forms).
