The AU considers the African diaspora as its sixth region.[2]

gollark: They would?
gollark: RSAPI, for instance, relays my RSS feeds to Discord, bridges some alerts, handles some types of reminder, posts NASA's astronomy picture of the day in the RSS thing, handles fortunes for potatOS, bridges DNS to IRC and the comments system, bridges OIR™ things to other things, contains the webmaze, and contains a youtube-dl frontend.
gollark: Most of my private stuff is code for my problems.
gollark: Retroactively proactively.
gollark: Oh, that was me.
