All Hail Bombastia! (part one)

Bombastian National Colors

After a prolonged illness the greatly beloved king Stanislav IV
passed away while his son Stanislav V was at university in
England. During the last kings illness the Minster of war 
Boris Badnick was appointed Prime Minister and also assumed
the roles of Minister of the Interior and Chancellor of the
Exchequer. This effectively gave him all the power within the
government. During the several years of the late king's
convalescence Badnick consolidated his hold on power and
created the NISP the dreaded National Internal Security Police
that report directly to him.

The New King Stanislav V came home with the news of his father's
death for his coronation,it was decided that he finish his studies and
then assume his full responsibilities after graduation as he had less
than a year to complete. It was also felt that as the new king who was
not yet married nor even betrothed, that every step be taken so that the
royal line be sustained and a proper match be found for the new king.

The real power in Bombastia is His Excellency Boris Badnick, he
controls all non ceremonial aspects of the state. In the last ten years
he has cemented his power with family appointments to various
civil government and military positions, his eldest son Vasili now
Commands the Royal Guard for example.

Actually it's Charlie Chaplin from the movie "The Great Dictator" but, close enough and it was the effect I was going for.
