Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a stunning turn of events, a heated debate erupted on the floor of the United States Congress this week when a delegation of Democratic lawmakers accused the country itself of engaging in a systematic campaign of manipulation and rigging of popular strategy game "Settlers of Catan."

The controversy began when Rep. Pancake Patterson (D-Strategica) presented a dossier of evidence during a special session of the House Committee on Games Integrity. Patterson, flanked by a bipartisan group of concerned lawmakers, claimed that the United States, through a series of clandestine moves and underhanded alliances, had tipping the scales in its favor for decades.

"The evidence is overwhelming," declared Patterson, waving a series of grainy photographs and heavily annotated score sheets. "There are patterns here. Patterns that suggest an influence on resource distribution, a manipulation of the dice rolls, and a bias towards certain players that can only be explained by the shadowy hand of the U.S. government."

The nation was quick to dismiss the claims as a baseless conspiracy theory, with many taking to social media to mock the lawmakers for their apparent lack of legislative priorities. However, the Democratic representatives were undeterred, arguing that the integrity of the game was at stake.

"This is about fairness and the principles upon which our nation was founded," Patterson insisted. "Every man, woman, and child should have the same opportunity to roll a seven for the longest road. No one is above the rules of Catan!"

Meanwhile, across the aisle, Republican counterparts were quick to pounce on the issue, accusing the Democrats of deflecting attention from more pressing matters. "While we're busy investigating who's playing fair in a board game, our nation's infrastructure is crumbling, and our economy is teetering on the brink of collapse," retorted Rep. Gravy Munchkin (R-Senate Biscuit).

As the debate raged on, the citizens of the United States were left bewildered, with many taking to the streets in a "March for Game Integrity." Protesters held signs proclaiming "Catan for All" and "No Rigged Resources!" as they demanded answers and a fair shake at building settlements and cities.

In response to the public outcry, the Department of the Interior released a statement denying any involvement in Catan gamesplay. "The United States has more pressing concerns than the outcome of a board game," the statement read. "We assure the public that our commitment to democracy and fair play extends beyond the cardboard and plastic of Settlers of Catan."

As the nation braces for what could be a lengthy and divisive investigation into the alleged Catan rigging scandal, one thing is clear: the next time you sit down to play with friends, make sure there's no one from Capitol Hill at the table. Lest you find yourself entangled in a political maelstrom of dice, denial, and the dire struggle for the longest road.
