Just as we depend so much on these undeniable elites, our country that managed to become the European Borough only by our political imposture, seems to push them away.

tiny little province


Explanation:
Nu sunt sigura de tonul intregului text, insa, aici ,,gubernie" ar parea sa implice o noanta de ironie/auto-ironie menita sa confere un aer de inferioritate; din motivul asta, ma gandesc ca poate vorbitorul nu are in vedere referirea stricta la o subdiviziune teritoriala, ci doar ideea de tara dependenta, fara putere si influenta;

Now, when we most need these undeniable elites, the tiny little province our country has become simply and solely at the hands of our political knavery, seems to chase them away.
