Hélène Frappat follows in the devastating wake of a European dictator: the freewheeling Nerona, Lady Macbeth of the 21st century, who wields decrees and crimes of state with the same dexterity.

Deep in the heart of Europe, an unfettered dictator who demands to be called "the Prince," reigns over her nation with wild decrees. Her name? Nerona. Paranoid, authoritarian, climate skeptic, a muse to governmental efficiency and a harsh critic of all "deviance," the founder of FEU (Force, Energy, Unity) has everything going for her. Proof: the people brought her to power. After transposing ancient tragedy to modenr Hollywood with brio, Hélène Frappat invents the fas­cist sitcom in a hilarious satire that gives a peek backstage at a dictator and the workings of populist discourse.
