The inspiration for the story Mice Election came from remembering a bit of political satire told on a web forum I’d seen a couple of years before. I realized after writing the story that the post was actually quoting a famous political parable from a Canadian politician in the 1940s.

I not only managed to find the text of the Mouseland, but also an animation piece set to a recording of the speech.
