The Anglasweorc is viewed as a national symbol of [[Anglei]] and appears on the hundred [[Taler]] note as the iconic structure of Anglei. In [[Yonderre]], the structure is viewed negatively and "the weorc" is often used as a derisive {{wp|metonym}} for Anglei or its government. | The Anglasweorc is viewed as a national symbol of [[Anglei]] and appears on the hundred [[Taler]] note as the iconic structure of Anglei. Most [[Ænglish people]] view the weorc fondly, and it is thought to be one of the great engineering and political achievements of the Ænglish people. Among historians and popular culture, the fortunes of the weorc are viewed to be directly correlated to the fortunes of the Ænglish state as a whole; its decline helped bring [[The Anarchy]] to the Ænglish Kingdom and signaled its future demise in a literal way, while in a symbolic way its restoration in the 19th and 20th centuries to a place of global esteem serves as an emblem of the fortunes of Anglei. In this way, the weorc is tied to the Ænglish national idea, and a popular contemporary Ænglish expression for a politician doing a good job while in office is to "keep the weorc stoned". Beginning in the 1920s, all major public offices in [[Anglei]] began to hold their swearing in ceremonies at sites along the weorc, symbolizing their responsibility to keep the Ænglish state strong and capable. This tradition continues today. | ||
