How is Mongolia's conversion from Cyrillic going anyway? Also, half of Estonia being honorary Nordic? Good map.

szary posted:Same in Poland, a broken leg or cancer won't put you in debt for life, but on the other hand waiting times times are so long that you either pay out of pocket or your "super urgent!!" procedure gets scheduled for 2025 and you'll be treated like poo poo at the hospital. The thing about US is that waiting times still suck. Not 2025 kind of suck, but it still takes forever because extra capacity = more expenses = less profit. (Of course a public system would probably get the same result due to inadequate funding).

Nenonen posted:Fun Russian trivia: Marx's Capital was translated into Russian before the Holy Bible (1872 vs. 1876). God has a very politically loaded ethnic identity it seems --- (North) Macedonian. (Well, it was probably Church Slavonic and not Old Church Slavonic at this point, but I am not even sure as to how one classifies that)

Some of them would look good if not for concrete looking absolutely hideous. I am really wondering as to how the whole thing happened: "we are going to build things using the ugliest construction material known to man and do nothing to pretty it up!" strikes me as a very strange direction for an architectural movement.

There seems to be some sort of regionalism angle, too --- lots of protests in region of Karakalpakstan about apparently attempts to remove it's nominal(?) autonomy. https://twitter.com/Peter__Leonard/status/1543345628360622084 Also, I am not sure there were term limits? Karimov was in charge since USSR times to his death in 2016.

Disappointing that KuK isn't some sort of "Make Latvia a part of resurgent Austro-Hungarian Empire" party with that name. Sounds like it would be an improvement, too. (... not sure how I would deal with those choices if I were Latvian...)

Small White Dragon posted:I guess I need to look up the history of that area, I assumed it was always a part of Romania but I guess not? United Romania as a country is actually somewhat new, it spent like 5+ centuries split into various pieces like Wallachia, Moldavia (much bigger than current one), Transylvania, Bessarabia, which often had only limited autonomy as it was caught right in between Russian Empire, the Ottomans, and [Austria-]Hungary.
