Vindication

Vindication is a mass entertainment frivolity gameshow carried on the recreational channels of the Benacian Data Network and accessible by residents of the Unified Governorates of Benacia with the Citizenship+ data package (typically reserved for officers of the Black Legions, ESB, N&H, and their families). An unauthorised copy of the Craitish TV show How Wrong Can You Be?, Vindication carries over the core conceit of the original programme, that the team who guess the incorrect answer with the highest number of respondents gains the greatest number of points. However, this being set in the UGB, the twist upon the game is that the questions pertain to fundamental aspects of religious orthodoxy, political correctness, and the Harmonious Society. Players must then guess the heretical responses given by citizens and subjects to officers from Internal Security in a given Governorate. The greater the number of individuals detained and dispatched to the Biological Remediation Service as a consequence of the wrong answers guessed by the players, the higher the team score becomes.

As a gameshow mocking the doctrinal follies of heretics and revelling in their fate, viewing an episode of Vindication is an arrestable offence for any citizen or subject without the appropriate BDN data plan, the penalty for which is a term of service with the Biological Remediation Service equivalent to giving an incorrect response to an ISB auditor. Guessing to the nearest amount the number of individuals detained for watching the previous episode without permission is frequently used as a tiebreaker question in the event of a draw.

By virtue of its subject matter, Vindication is not available for syndication or rebroadcast over foreign mediums.
