	abstract = {<p>An anti-Home Rule tale of the future, but one that is sympathetic to Ireland\&$\#$39;s problems. The \&quot;Severance of Union Act\&quot; is passed and then repealed. The new regime established gives considerable power to localities, with each having a local board to \&quot;regulate tariffs, rents, and all technical and local matters\&quot; (137). More police. Absentee landlords heavily taxed. Money invested in improving agriculture, industry, and infrastructure. Education is improved, and a Roman Catholic university of quality is established, so that clergy will be better educated. Censorship is imposed as a means of improving education. Royalty visits regularly.</p>},
