Twenty-thousand, eight hundred and forty from the land of the eagle, sixteen-thousand and nine-hundred from the kindhearted mountains, eigthy-five hundred from the Maiden coasts, sixty-one hundred and seventy from the inner sea, nine...

They didn't, but rather moved them somewhere else.

Except for that pesky compulsion to do good.

Clearly the answer is to first preemptively topple your own government, then make sure the new administration knows it was you and you can do it to them too. Then just make an agreement with them to look the other way, not to keep tabs on you and to prevent foreign powers from doing so. I'm...

Most likely she was elected not by universal suffrage, but by a council of nobles. Like in most elective monarchies. As for the name thing, i think it is refuge in audacity. If you suspect the Queen is using a body double, you would probably suspect the handmaiden with the same name first, but...

Last year I saw a documentary on the largest gold heist in modern history. They claimed most of it will never be recovered because being an element, gold is notoriously impossible to trace. And lots of stolen gold circulates through official channels multiple times over.

I made an oral presentation on Greek Mythology for an English course. All of this basically pre-internet. (Ok, there was internet, but it was before Wikipedia was a thing)
