I am curious as to why Sweden has not chosen to use the Euro as their national currency. -Kelly — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.160.125.123 ( talk) 09:01, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
In theory, being outside the euro zone allows Sweden to set its own monetary policy. However, in practice it does not; interest rates mirror those of the euro. More, by being outside, Sweden has no “seat at the table,” i.e., no policy voice. In the end, it is a political decision. DOR (HK) ( talk) 23:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
The current Flag of Pocatello was created after a process of collecting suggestions from everybody who wanted to take part, which resulted in 709 flag design suggestions. The page publishing all of them is still available in the Wayback Machine (barely loading due to the many images). Anyway: What is likely the copyright situation for these flag proposals? Is the copyright probably still with the creators? Or did Pocatello demand the copyright of each proposal to be signed over to the city? I assume the latter is the case, as otherwise they could hardly have extracted and combined elements of the proposals for the final design. But I want to be sure. -- KnightMove ( talk) 16:06, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
I am investigating the history of the Maltese government/occupation and whether it has ever been occupied/conquered by other countries or taken over by other countries to be used as a strategic military area or for other reasons. I have heard that because of its location in the Mediterranean that throughout history it has been used as a strategic military area for countries in times of war and I am trying to understand the validity of this. If you could help that would be great. Many thanks, Traci
