i won't lie and said i read all of this but wow
when i made the bid for the smoky mountains it was entirely a meme bid because everyone put their bids in tennessee and i thought it'd be funny - if you look at the media i made for it i pretty much just said "because memes", and it won because of the logo. so i definitely understand the frustration that the narrative aspect is lacking.
the fact that singapore's stadium listing is "singa pura" stadium just feels outright racist to me??? i have no idea who did that or who made up the other names, but we have had a history of users just making stuff up on the wiki and no one really catching them/noticing for long periods of time.
also you joke about plate tectonics and splitting indonesia in half russia-style, but between the plate boundary that cuts through the country and the Wallace Line that gives a clear cut of biogeography you're not too far off lol
