True Heroes
General, I need you to assemble our Glorious Nation's first team of True Heroes.
They are to be the finest specimens of our already Perfected Nationality, for although every Citizen of our Glorious Nation is already superior in every way to any mere citizen of any other mundane nation of the World Earth, some of our Perfected Citizens are even more Perfected than the average, or even the above-average.
There are to be five members of our True Heroes. You are to find the Strongest, the Fastest, the Smartest, the Wisest, and the Loveliest of our People. You will find them and you will bring them together to form this team. Because they will surely be Loyal Citizens, they will be eager to join and support you in this effort. Surely.
The team members shall have a Uniform, one that unifies them in Appearance but at the same time affords Individuality to accentuate their primary characteristics. They may have special Hero Names, if you think that will make them work better. They shall have no special team name other than the name I have given them, the True Heroes.
After a brief training period, during which time you will make them bond with each other, they will be deployed to their only assignment. That will be the main border crossing point with our Foul and Degenerate Sister-Enemy-State, with whom we can have no Peace, only a lasting but uneasy Truce for the time being.
There, they will have three Duties. As you know, some of our Citizens feel such pressure living up to the Perfected standards of our Glorious Nation that they may attempt to flee across the border to our Sister-Enemy-State in shame, to hide themselves among the mediocrity of those who are almost but not quite like us.
So the True Heroes' first Duty will be to prevent such flight. They are to encourage Citizens to accept the Privilege and Honor of living a Perfected life in our Glorious Nation and return to their homes in time for their next work shift, or otherwise prevent our Citizens from falling themselves into the hands of the Southern Degenerates.
As you also know, an important part of our Silent Eternal War against our Sister-Enemy-State is waged not with Weapons, but with Appearances. And so the second Duty of the True Heroes at the border will be to show our Enemy, and indeed all the World Earth, the full magnificence of what it is to be a Perfected Citizen of ours.
Finally, the third Duty of the True Heroes (and only you are to know this duty, my trusted General) will be to prevent a coup from attempting to unseat me from my Rightful Throne. Again, as you know, there are Corruptive Elements which always seek to turn Perfected Citizens against me, their Enlightened Leader.
You may wonder how being stationed forever at the border helps them achieve this third task. They accomplish this Duty by spending all their time in a far away place, performing their first two Duties, and so are unable to contemplate or enact any such plan or plot against me, using their Strength, Cunning, and Charm.
To help the True Heroes with their three Duties, you will also station a number of armed soldiers of the People's Resilient Militia at the border crossing - far more than you currently have, I think perhaps a thousand. Their guns will help insure that the True Heroes themselves are not tempted to fall away from their duties.
Go now, and find my True Heroes. I look forward to meeting them. Briefly.

For consideration: despots and the monuments they build to themselves for pride's sake
