Championship standings after the race

  • Note: Only the top five positions are included.
gollark: It seems to *mostly* be the US.
gollark: I mean, extreme poverty and such are going *down* in most countries, and literacy and good things like that are going up.
gollark: Also that.
gollark: Depends what you mean by "communism"?
gollark: The anarchocommunist-or-whatever idea of everyone magically working together for the common good and planning everything perfectly and whatnot also sounds nice but is unachievable.
