Notes
- The FIFA states "Serbia and Montenegro" here, which is an anachronism. Reporting him like this means that this official report was made in the period 2003-2006.
gollark: You can scan their composition remotely I'm sure.
gollark: Platinum is great! It's a good conductor and doesn't tarnish!
gollark: Platinum would go down in value and we could all have nice platinum things.
gollark: I don't want people to be able to claim random asteroids without visiting them.
gollark: Mostly because it doesn't seem very economically viable, because there is no spacey infrastructure.
