Mine has a giant destroyed Statue of Liberty to drive home the point though.

Ah, but mine has Queen Elizabeth's Tower (Big Ben to you) in ruins, and a drained River Thames. Certainly more iconic for those Britons among us :)

Remember, the British Parliament was the first modern democratic government. The destruction of the Houses of Parliament is slightly more iconic than a slightly damaged statue of some random lady holding a book (and quite possibly doing a Nazi salute, for all we know, what with the stump of her right arm being in the position it is xD)
