Argentina has one of the highest Human Development Index values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It would be even higher, except Cristina Fernández de Kirchner set Human Development in Argentina back 30,000 years.
You're a perv.
One of the things I find makes the show slightly less believable is that Sheldon seems to be completely asexual. In reality, as far as I can tell, most people as smart as Sheldon are obsessed with sex. (Feynman and Hawking, for example.)
Most people are obsessed with sex whether they are as smart as Sheldon or not. However, Sheldon is represented on the show as an outlier in many respects, so what is the difficulty in believing that he would be different in this respect too?
I would have thought that claiming a trademark rights on "moot" would fail. A moot is a generic word for a meeting/council of Anglo-Saxon origin.
I am delighted to confirm that we have made plans to resite our Nuclear Deterrent. After much consultation and with the agreement of the Legislative Assembly, I am pleased to announce that in the event of a Referendum "yes" vote, the UK will be breaking ground on a new facility in the Falkland Islands.
This is an immensely popular decision that has the full support of all our inhabitants, stated the Chief Executive of the Legislative Assembly.
On hearing this announcement Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, President of Argentina, wept before exploding into flames.

You forgot to mention that some nations don't have so much land. Palestine, Israel, Taiwan, etc. You'd be insane to promote solar if you lived in any of those countries.

to kill them before the power plant does?
Not at all - the solution is to kill and cook them in one simple process instead of the dual process that we have currently.
Its a bit difficult to say because of the complex nature of the car business, but European sourced cars are generally better than US models due to the realisation that corners are something to be enjoyed.
In Jaguar (yes I know its owned by Tata), Rolls Royce, BMW and Mercedes we have cars that everyone aspires to own, and that's before I get into mentioning Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Bugatti etc.
On the US side, you have one car manufacturer that is widely admired - Tesla.
There was a game called Apocalypse produced by Games Workshop, also known as Warlord in a more complex form
I suspect that for n dimensions, there is a necessity for the board "size" to be n+1 for a game not to be completely trivial.
e.g. 2d = 3x3 board
3d = 4x4x4
4d = 5x5x5x5
More importantly, a lot of rules change from country to country e.g. rights of pedestrians (jaywalking in the USA), implicit rules at junctions (no permission to go right on red in Europe) etc
