Spiderfist Island posted:Wiki says that Ceuta and Melilla right now are pretty much 50/50 Iberian/Maghreb Berber demographically, so in terms of ethnically-based national claims to the city it's still borderline either way. Besides, Goa and Macau were Portuguese for centuries, but they're parts of India and China respectively now and don't have much of a "Portuguese" identity today. I've never been to Goa, but I've spent a lot of time in Macau and it has a pretty strong Macanese identity that owes a ton to Portugal. Also Portuguese is still an official language there. But yeah it's demographically mostly Chinese and has way stronger cultural ties to Hong Kong than to Portugal. Are Ceuta and Melilla more culturally tied to Morocco or Spain? I imagine being physically so close to mainland Spain makes a big difference compared to Macau being on the other side of the world from Portugal.

Ceuta and Melilla are majority-Christian, for what it's worth. I'm not an expert on the subject but it seems like they have more in common with each other than with either Morocco or Spain.

I don't know about the republic but there are still reasonably regular arson and beatings related to the troubles in the north and the occasional bombing attempt. I'm guessing London was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Leytonstone_tube_station_attack e: I think the thing you should take away from it is that some places probably over identify things as terrorism (Germany) and some places massively under report it (China) a pipe smoking dog fucked around with this message at 12:00 on Feb 7, 2017 |

So I take it one person got murdered in Greenland, but since there are so few people total it threw the overall homicide rate into Gary Indiana territory? e: Ahaha, checked the wiki article and that's exactly what happened, exactly one murder

Powered Descent posted:So I take it one person got murdered in Greenland, but since there are so few people total it threw the overall homicide rate into Gary Indiana territory? That's for the year 2011 only. The 2010 murder rate was 16 per 100,000 people, which would mean about 9 people were killed out of the population that was 56,905 people that year. And in 1985 the rate was 23 per 100,000 which meant 12 murders for a population then around 53,200.

You are going to get a little weirdness with a small population but the huge social issues in Greenland are well documented and it was a big deal in Iceland when a fisher from Greenland killed a local woman.

Buller posted:Worlds highest children suicide rate. Yeah. All Things Considered did an interesting piece on this. Basically because villages are small and isolated when one kid kills themself it has a ripple effect where other kids start to feel hopeless and kill themselves too. They're starting to try to send government social workers and counselors to schools quickly when a kid kills themself to help the other kids cope and hopefully minimize the rippling.

That sounds like parts of northern Canada, where native kids have a high suicide rate, along with tons of drugs/alcohol/gas sniffing and the like.

Canada's 2016 census was released, proving the oft-denied suspicion that Vancouver is being hollowed out by Chinese investment. For years we've been told we're racist if we believe the average house price of $1,470,000 was caused by external money rather than "everyone wants to live in The Best Place on Earth" or "low interest rates are allowing people - who make an average of less than $40,000 per year - to afford $3+ million houses on the west side." Turns out population is moving in the opposite direction of housing prices, which is not the way it usually works...    On the bright (?) side, the cure is already in effect as a sudden 15% foreign buyer tax completely tanked the foreign investment market and now sales are slower than they were post-2008 world economic crisis.

I don't know a lot about London but from what I understand they're being targeted by Saudi and Russian investors in a similar way. It leads to more tax revenue initially which politicians love but ends up costing cities in the end.

I thought the whole deal with London in particular was that there was some sort of tax you didn't need to pay on a residence if it wasn't your primary residence?
