International relations

Bexbach is twinned with:

gollark: Real men just attach jumper cables to the RAM.
gollark: I just manually wire together programmable logic chips.
gollark: Real men's install ISOs are just 10MB and decompress themselves via magic.
gollark: It's not a real OS if it ships with a "GUI" and "installer" and any such nonsense.
