Satirism

Political Satirism or just Satirism in the context of Polcompball is a ball representing a broad set of political personalities and/or parties which run on a campaign of joke policies.

History
Political satire has existed pretty much since politics itself existed, although first actually known instances of political satire were in ancient Greece.

The first case in which a candidate has ran for office with the sheer intent of satirising politics isn't really known, but it could be said to be the story of the time when Emperor Caligula of the Roman Empire nominated his favourite Horse Incitatus for Consul, which could be interpreted as a joke on how the Roman Consuls were useless. Although it could be just his being a loony or not have happened at all.

In the ages then, many notable works of political satire have been produced. Including some of the works of William Shakespeare and works like "A Modest Proposal" and "The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu".

Satirism has later took hold as a political in the 20th century, with one of the earliest organised satirist parties being the "The Party of Moderate Progress Within the Bounds of the Law" in the Austro-Hungarian Czechoslovakia by Jaroslav Hašek, founded in 1911. Which promised that if they get elected to the Imperial Council of Austria would introduce policies such as the "nationalisation of janitors", "reintroduction of slavery" and "mandatory alcoholism".

Satirist candidates later became more popular with the introduction of the Television and similar.

The 21st century with the invention of the internet has allowed to political satirism become even more popular, allowing it to be accessed by pretty much everyone. Notable examples being the ideology of Anti-Centrism.

Personality
Political Satirism is usually portrayed as either a stereotypical professional clown.
