This release includes the beta nose. I'm still working on the lips. I had to remove the heart because it didn't work right for anyone but me, still looking at that.
What if the President of the USA, the Vice President, the entire Cabinet, the entire Senate, the entire House of Representatives, etc. etc. were simultaneously assassinated?
In networking terms, I don't believe loss of the top officials would have to make a bit of difference to the operations of the country. The strength and stability of the government lies in the well-established and huge burocracy. That complex system really needs no supervision (Though it could use a kick in the ___).
It's interesting that the correlation with the internet breaks down because the President et al are not the hubs of communication. They aren't part of the information network of government; they sit atop it, but separate from it. (They're more like ICANN than Google?)
Unfortunately, humans are not routers, and I wouldn't even try to predict what the emotional effects of mass-assasination would do to the function of the goverment or the nation.
