My 200-word RPG from 2018 No Devil-child May Rule Us is about excessive certainty in politics, and allegorically about government scandals where law enforcement and intelligence agencies are involved.
In the Threeforged contest, I thought the "Space Race-punk" aesthetic of Shadow of Ares (by Victor Andrade, Ashton McAllan, and Chris Bennett) was brilliant. We're a little past the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing now. That era still has some powerful imagery and feelings attached but we don't often see it used it in science fiction.
