What does Bhm. Sea stand for in the modern map version?
In the modern map, there's a territory named Bhm. Sea. What does that stand for? I always assumed Bohemian Sea though that doesn't exist (and the sea isn't close to Bohemia). Perhaps it is Bornholm Sea (after the Danish island in the Baltic in that area)?

When Is The New Forum Going Live?
I had a quick look at the forum a while ago. It looked good to me. Any idea when it may go live? On a completely unrelated note - any chance we may turn SSL on for the site?

Identification Methods
For a story I'm writing, I need an adult who has lost his memory to not be easily identifiable. How do I make this feasible?
For instance, I expect the Dutch government to have the fingerprints of Dutch citizens. Do legal immigrants or people with a refugee status have their fingerprints taken as well? Would illegal immigrants or tourists from countries that don't take fingerprints make for a solid storyline? Are there other options?

Known World 901 - Playable?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm fairly new around here. I'm looking through the variant maps, and I see one that looks like a lot of fun, the Known World 901 map. On the Variants page, it lists it as active, but when I go to create a new game I don't see it as an option to select.

An open discussion about elaborate ways to restore reliability rating
I was thinking how there are members on this site who ruined their Reliability early and can never restore it to the 90th %tile. What if we did a series of experiments on these people. Hook them up to machines. Or perhaps put them in a room full of rats and see if they survive. The goal being we develop a way that someone could go from a 13% RR to a mighty 78%

Ask and ye shall receive:


Anthony Scaramucci (born January 6, 1964) is a great American financier, one of the best entrepreneurs, and an record-breaking political figure.

Scaramucci worked with enormous success at Goldman Sachs' investment banking, equities, and private wealth management divisions between 1989 and 1996, becoming enormously rich, which of course is the best measure of success. After leaving Goldman Sachs, he founded Oscar Capital Management, and in 2005, he founded the investment firm SkyBridge Capital. It was so successful, just wonderful.

On July 21, 2017, Scaramucci was appointed White House Communications Director to worldwide acclaim. He began work on July 25, although he had not yet been sworn in, because he was just that dedicated to serving the people of the USA. Days into the job, Scaramucci endeared tremendous approval after a witty, close-to-the-bone interview with The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza, in which he made insightful, obscene and strongly derogatory statements about several people who have since been forgotten about. Ten days after the announcement of his appointment, he resigned, in order to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. He was happy to resign, having already achieved more in that short period than most politicians achieve in their whole career.

Scaramucci's tenure of six days, from his unofficial start date on July 25 through his departure on July 31, is the shortest in history for that position, breaking the former record of 11 days that had been held by Jack Koehler in the Reagan administration. Despite this, his short time in office contained so many, so many achievements, too many to even list.

On October 2, 2017, two months after he honourably stepped down as White House Press Secretary, Scaramucci launched the online media venture the "Scaramucci Post". At a press conference, Scaramucci said that "...we have great ideas about what Scaramucci Post is and so will you. We launched it today and we launched with great fanfare and it will be just tremendous, even better than Sarah Palin's website." Later that month, the Post was criticized by lazy and stupid people for posting a Twitter poll asking "How many Jews were killed in the Holocaust?", which in fact is a great quiz question. Sean Spicer's response, in which he Tweeted: "Probably none - even Hitler didn't sink to that level! LOL!!" was selected as the winning entry, with Spicer presented with a Macy's gift certificate for $25.
