Geography
Kura Rock is small islet with a maximum length of 0.18 km. It is located 13 km to the east of Kura Island's northeastern end and about 15 km (9 mi) to the southeast of the nearest mainland shore.[2] The Borisova Bank is located to the west of this islet.[3]
Although quite far from Baku, this islet is considered part of the Baku Archipelago. Administratively it belongs to the Aran Region.
gollark: Possibly not a shame since some of them would end horribly... still though.
gollark: It's a shame we can't just set up "test civilizations" somewhere and see how well each thing works.
gollark: I mean. Maybe it could work in small groups. But small tribe-type setups scale poorly.
gollark: 1. Is that seriously how you read what I was saying? I was saying: fix our minds' weird ingroup/outgroup division.2. That is very vague and does not sound like it could actually work.
gollark: I'm pretty sure we *have* done the ingroup/outgroup thing for... forever. And... probably the solutions are something like transhumanist mind editing, or some bizarre exotic social thing I can't figure out yet.
