Geographic
gollark: Iceland is pretty nice, from my brief time visiting there some years ago.
gollark: The UK is generally a reasonably okay country, although it has its own set of bizarre problems like most of them do.
gollark: Stop perpetuating the myth that Australia exists.
gollark: It would need a lot of computing power, but you can just rent some from the cloud™ or "borrow" an arbitrarily powerful computer from some mathematicians.
