Get the Socialist Republic of Busoncaym mug.A term that originated from the 2018 game Among Us, in which it would describe a player reporting a dead body that they themselves had killed; its use has since been expanded to describe any action by a person that unnecessarily draws attention to something negative about themselves. It is similar to a Freudian slip, but it does not require the person to make an accidental error; their words or actions are typically deliberate, and the person may already be perfectly aware of the negative connotations of their conduct.
Original Use
Player 1: I found this body in the communications room.
Player 2: I checked the vitals monitor a few seconds ago and no one was dead, this kill must have just happened.
Player 3: Is this a self-report?
Current Use
Person A: I like when people post about funny things they do to get out of doing work at their jobs, it really makes everyone seem a bit more human.
Person B: Fair, although the self-report can often get a person fired if they post using their actual name, so I wouldn't recommend joining them anytime soon, okay?

Get the self-report mug.Crony Republic is a government that maintains the formal institutions of a republic—such as a constitution, an elected legislature, and an independent judiciary—but where actual power and wealth are diverted through a closed network of mutual back-scratching between political elites and their favored private associates.
In a Crony Republic, the rule of law exists on paper but is routinely bent or bypassed. Legislation, state contracts, regulatory favors, and public resources are steered to political allies, donors, friends, or family members. This creates a "transfer economy" where wealth is forcibly moved from the general public to a connected few through government power. The republican facade of democracy and equal rights remains for legitimacy, but the system functionally operates for the benefit of a privileged in-group, eroding public trust and constitutional integrity.

"Calling it a democracy is a joke; it's a Crony Republic. The president's old college roommate just got a no-bid contract for the new highway, the energy minister's brother runs the monopoly utility, and any law that threatens their profits gets 'reviewed' to death in a committee."
The danger of a Crony Republic is constitutional corrosion. Isolated acts of favoritism can happen anywhere, but when they become the standard operating procedure, they attack the foundational principles of fairness, merit, and equality under the law that a republic is supposed to uphold. The system becomes less about serving the public and more about maintaining the wealth and power of a private network.
