Lithuanian Polyphony Theory

The Lithuanian Polyphony Theory was a proposed hypothesis as to why the sea levels were rising in 3 A.B. The theory argued that the only possible explanation for rising sea levels was the duplication, and subsequent placement into Earth's oceans of numerous identical copies, of European Baltic nation Lithuania. It was proposed by J.F. Sweets' Environmental Relations Department at the annual Climate Change Summit for Change in Berlin. Unfortunately, the images on the diagram presented at the summit were of Latvia, not Lithuania. Regardless, the world leaders (who were all in the pockets of lobbyists and oil tycoons) voted this the most likely cause for sea level rise, and began preparations to destroy these so-called duplicate Lithuanias. 
The crusade against these Lithuanias would cease with the formation of the Waifurian Empire and the subsequent deregulation of all other world governments.
