Suchdol nad Odrou
Suchdol nad Odrou (German: Zauchtenthal, Zauchtel) is a market town in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. Many of the first religious refugees that came to the estate of Count von Zinzendorf to begin the building of Herrnhut (beginning in 1722) originated from Suchdol/Zauchtenthal. These refugees were instrumental in renewing the Unitas Fratrum of their ancestors, today called the Moravian Church, the Jednota Bratrská, or Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine.

gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: If you just doubled the number of people "involved in politics" by some loose definition by taking arbitrary random people, would this actually improve the political situation? I would be surprised if it did; I don't think most have some sort of unique original contribution, but just go for participating in shouting louder at other groups.
gollark: Possibly true but not very relevant.
gollark: You could probably argue that something something tragedy of the commons, but clearly there are a lot of people who do do politics and it is possible that adding more would actually worsen things.
gollark: Even if it is the case that if everyone ever ignored politics there would be problems, that doesn't mean that one person ignoring it is bad.
