From @theguardian.com letters

After the Trump regime’s attack on #Calibri, is #SanSerriffe now at risk of invasion (Font of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New Roman, 10 December)?

En 1977, The Guardian inventó un país: San Serriffe. Tenía playas, capital tipográfica y un dictador llamado General Pica. Miles picaron. Todo era una broma editorial… y tipográfica.

For a type nerd this is still the greatest April Fools caper, from 1977 in @theguardian.com

However much you hate today, spare a thought for when it, and @theguardian.com, were great. Again. #SanSerriffe

The leader's rise to power in San Serriffe From the archive: On this day in 1977, the Guardian reported on how Maria-Jesu Pica brought a happy state of affairs to the 'island nation'.

Such a corrupt place, run by nasty gangster woke people.
For the sake of Freedom, it is essential that this fine nation joins The Union as the 121st State - lest it strays into the orbit of China, or China itself.
