Suppose right before this re-bordering takes place, the countries are given the chance to change the capitals' location. Suppose further that they all do it to maximize the area after re-bordering.

I wonder how much the result will differ?

I'm doubly baffled by this story.

First, when I buy mandatory car insurance, police can check its validity in seconds. I'd expect international shipping to be at least at that level of strictness.

Second, how insurance can help avoid sanctions? The enforcement should look at the goods source and destination, not on who insured them, right?

Your Kyiv teacher is lucky. Blackouts vary a lot between regions and even within a single town. We have a distributed team and track blackouts in daytime, 8am-8pm. A couple of people had no blackouts so far whatsoever, a few had about 40 hours off out of 60 last workweek. The median is somewhere between 25-30. It is getting worse gradually.

I agree that they may have no control. However they also flatly deny any information on what may have gone wrong - and bank wires hardly ever fail silently. So they definitely have some info, but have no desire to cooperate.
