    Most people are smoking. So much that recently i've been a bit amazed when i see people who don't...
    The language is.. quite hard/annoying (in my opinion)

    Indonesia?

    It's a technicality issue. Australia's position as a continent overrules our position as a very large island so we dont count for the purposes of the list of largest island countries.

    My country still doesn't have a government and I wonder if we will break the record again (of the longest time without one) :facepalm::blob_grin:
    Edit: I checked how long that was again and Moldavie is the ultimate last boss with 5hundred something days. Holy cow.
    Edit again: no wait, we broke that record. Moldavie has 528 days without and we 541.

    541 days without one. And we're again having issues creating a government. But it's fine, there's a government for those times lol.
    I'm not sure anyone cares, as the system is complicated so when sb talks about a government, the first question is: which?
    Another fun fact: In 1990, the Belgian king Baudouin was dethroned for 36 hours. He was against the abortion law that the government wanted to pass, so we dethroned him, signed the law and made him king again.
