The Seven Wonders of the Totalitarian World

I trust when Loveshack becomes a supervillian he'll surpass this. I expect giant statues in every major city with laser beam eyes and a rotating head (Perfect for protests).

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Bah.. When (if) I die, I will have a memorial like the Terra Cotta Warriors, only at 100 times the scale.

Nice list - the North Korean monument was particularly...revolting.

I am somewhat surprised that the list didn't include the Stalinist era response to Deco skyscrapers (e.g. Moscow State University and Warsaw's Palace of Science and Culture).

Yes, but unlike a lot of these countries, my subjects will love me.  I'll be a beloved leader like Dr. Doom is to the people of Latveria.  Plus I'll be better looking.  I'm imagining a statue like Bender's tomb on Futurama.
