Learn Something Fun: The classic novel, 1984, George Orwell described a totalitarian society in which the government, referred to as the Party, had almost total control over the people.  The supreme ruler of the Party was Big Brother.

Posters announced that "Big Brother is Watching You". Telescreens droned endlessly with brainwashing propaganda about wondrous government programs.

Coins, stamps, books, films, and banners proclaimed the three slogans of the Party: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
