But, as norm tell us, someone’s not allowed to eat their pepperoni. (No, it’s not Saddam Hussein. That was in the South Park movie.)

So I played Guess the Dictator, and eventually it guessed my character. At the end the game tells you how many times others have chosen your character. This is how many times my three characters were chosen by people who played this game.
