The '''[[south polar skua]]''' is a large seabird in the skua family Stercorariidae. An older name for the bird is MacCormick’s skua, after explorer and naval surgeon Robert McCormick, who first collected the type specimen. This species and the other large Southern Hemisphere skuas, such as the great skua, are sometimes placed in a separate genus ''Catharacta''.
The '''[[New Antrim Tobacco Crisis]]''' was a conflict that occurred between the [[Protectorate of New Antrim]] and its parent state, the [[Republic of Molossia]]. The dispute centered on New Antrim's right to grow tobacco and produce hand-rolled tobacco products. After six months of posturing and threats, the conflicted parties reached an agreement and the dispute came to an end in January 2008.
