Madagascar and New Zealand being white just blew my mind, after I checked that it is actually the true.
New Zealand was first settled some time during the high and late middle ages, and Madagascar between the years 500 and 700.
Crazy considering that the cradle of humanity in Eastern Africa is not that far off…

Looks like this for Games in my library, for other Games there is a checkbox for gifting later in the order process.

No, has been around for ages for me. Germany.

That’s not correct.

I have totally gifted Games via GOG in the past.
E.g. my nephew got KSP from me last birthday.

On the Game page it prominently shows a “buy as present” button.
Recipient doesn’t even need his own GOG account.

Perhaps some regional block?
Where are you from?

Actually Northern Bavaria is slightly arid. During summer, much of the needed water is “imported” from the more humid southern part via the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal.

Fascinating large scale engineering project, but also with significant environmental impact…

You are right! Counting decimal places always was one of my weak points, should have switched calculator to engineering notation. :-)

9 sq. km irrigated land is still insane.

I live in middle of the largest irrigated vegetable growing region in Northern Bavaria, and it just has 9 sq. km irrigation area in total, but shared between 267 farms!

Wait… 3000 acres would be 120 sq. km, if my math mathed correctly.

That’s twice the size of my 130.000 inhabitants municipality, which also includes dozens of huge farms.

I see your point here.
So the whole thing is ridiculous and actually a non-issue.

An electric utility bill of 150000$???
Assuming a price of 0.2 ct/kWh that would be 750 MWh per year.
Or a continous consumption of 85kW 24/7.
What the hell kind of farms are these?
Industrial scale indoor weed plantations??
