I do find that interesting about England (really, the East Midlands specifically) - everyone else has been quite happy to have the rural authority's HQ in a major city administratively outside it if that means a more accessible location to residents, but Derbs, Notts and Leics CCs seem to have gone "are you mental, we can't be based outside our own territory".They did actually move the County Council headquarters there in 1955.

I never really think of Surrey in this context because I think "well, obviously Guildford is their ancient and proper county town" only to be reminded that, er, not anymore it isn't.To be fair, West Bridgford and Glenfield fall firmly into the category of 'would be administratively part of the city if it actually followed the urban area'.
Matlock's just strange in that respect.
Though Surrey is equally absurd in the other direction.

The best part of the map of the municipalities of Bosnia is that you can so clearly see how the ceasefire line that established the division between the RS and FBiH messed up with their borders bad.
Trnovo (RS) being split into two separate parts is probably the worst.
Yeah, although I can remember quite a few examples of the literal scar on Bosnia that that border is.
By the way, I'm essentially finished with the 2018 map myself (of BiH presidents, Assembly, and everything below minus cantonal assemblies) but I'm having trouble with all the shades of green and blue everywhere. How many do you guys in AJR have? Because I might need to borrow a few if only to manage.
What are the actual numbers (nationally, I mean)?The Lib Dems are the largest party in Wales and the largest Unionist party in Scotland.

URGH
ITS BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO MONSTROUS
I roared when I noticed Ashfield.I actually did a little 'NO FUCKING WAY' to myself when I saw that the third Lib Dem seat in the East Midlands was Bolsover.
I mean like, that literally looks like something I'd slip in as an self-indulgent Easter Egg.
