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)?

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%

League of Legends (abbreviated LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows and macOS. The game follows a freemium model and is supported by microtransactions, and was inspired by the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne mod, Defense of the Ancients.[1]

In League of Legends, players assume the role of an unseen "summoner" that controls a "champion" with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players or computer-controlled champions. The goal is usually to destroy the opposing team's "nexus", a structure which lies at the heart of a base protected by defensive structures, although other distinct game modes exist as well. Each League of Legends match is discrete, with all champions starting off fairly weak but increasing in strength by accumulating items and experience over the course of the game.[2] The champions and setting blend a variety of elements, including high fantasy, steampunk, and Lovecraftian horror.

League of Legends was generally well received upon its release in 2009, and has since grown in popularity, with an active and expansive fanbase. By July 2012, League of Legends was the most played PC game in North America and Europe in terms of the number of hours played.[3] As of January 2014, over 67 million people played League of Legends per month, 27 million per day, and over 7.5 million concurrently during peak hours.[4] League has among the largest footprints of any game in streaming media communities on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch.tv; it routinely ranks first in the most-watched hours.[5][6] In September 2016 the company estimated that there are over 100 million active players each month.[7][8] The game's popularity has led it to expand into merchandise, with toys, accessories, apparel, as well as tie-ins to other media through music videos, web series, documentaries, and books.

League of Legends has an active and widespread competitive scene. In North America and Europe, Riot Games organizes the League Championship Series (LCS), located in Los Angeles and Berlin respectively, which consists of 10 professional teams in each continent.[9] Similar regional competitions exist in China (LPL), South Korea (LCK), Taiwan (LMS), Southeast Asia (GPL), and various other regions.[10] These regional competitions culminate with the annual World Championship. The 2016 World Championship had 43 million unique viewers and a total prize pool of over 6 million USD.[11]

Australia has not "banned all guns" and surprise.. It's not a lotus filled Paradise where all is perfect. Too describe our gun laws as a total ban of a guns is too simple and innacurate.
Adult citizens can own firearms, but not "any type of firearms/ armaments" They can own guns suitable to the intended legal use..eg for shooting clay pigeons, or shooting kangaroos, shooting in the organised shooting competitions, at licensed shooting ranges etc.
There is a pool of unlicensed/illegal firearms in Australia but I estimate that pool being of the 300k to 500k range, & I think I've pitched those numbers slightly high..we've had successive gun amnesties..three to six month periods where firearms can be surrendered & they have worked Well.
Criminals will always try to smuggle weapons into our country as well as drugs
So sensible gun laws do not of themselves "end all crime" but to say that because even though they significantly reduce gun crimes, but do not end all crime with guns then they should not be used is a nonsense

Democrats are in deep trouble. The Republicans are running a child molester in a deep red state, which probably means they'll win big. My understanding is that child moslestation isn't illegal in many states in the US. Clearly those coastal elites where that stauff is bannedare deeply out of touch with real Americans

First of all Louis ck isnt even funny. I dont know why anyone thought he was. Misconduct is still misconduct. His career like kevin spaceys and charlie sheens are mostly over.

Thats why its so puzzling to me that anyone of sane mind would defend roy or attempt to grapple for some political equivalent.
CAPT Brad (40 DX)
10 Nov 17 UTC
I have never seen or heard anything done by CK and probably wouldn't like his potty mouth humor anyways. As for Roy I mean why is bill Clinton getting a pass when everyone else is being taken down? Clinton's behavior was more recent and clearly someone of power abusing others with no power and then attacking them when they complained. A whole institution was and still is built around defending him especially Hillary's attacks on those women

Actually HR, kangaroo populations have significantly increased in rural Australia, mainly because there are a lot of watering places put in for cattle and sheep that they use. Kangaroo meat rates highly compared to beef, pork and lamb..it's lean/low fat meat and quite popular with some chefs.
Some environmentalists suggest we should get rid of cattle and "farm" & harvest kangaroos instead, as cattle have a greater detrimental effect on plants etc than kangaroos. So ignore the sentimental, appease the greenies & throw a kangaroo steaks on the griddle.
I think you can even get "Halal kangaroo steaks" in Australia, but not at a Pauline Hanson/One Nation fund raising BBQ

Clinton faced impeachment from an investigation over his wife's possible real estate deal where they lost money. After all the years spent on investigation the biggest charge was lying about sleeping with an intern. The Trump investigation is already ahead on serious charges and guilty pleas in the first year.

Moore will probably avoid criminal charges from statute of limitations and the lack of laws since he isn't in California.

Charlie Sheen got a great deal over his show, Anger Management, when he got signed for a 100 episode deal from the start. The thing is running in syndication and bringing him lots of money.

Oh. Well Ogion, as you well know, were liberals, so we support slavery and the confederacy. I guess we should be supporting this guy.

Also I think we may be able to use eugenics on the people of alabama. Even though the Democrats who believe in these things died 160 years ago, their beliefs reside deep in the heart of all of us liberals
