Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković did not rule out a ban on the import of Ukrainian grain, following the example of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia.

Croatia is a transit country for Kyiv’s agricultural products, nothing more.

The winds had shifted in the grain trade with a single, swift move that sent reverberations through the waters all the way to the Kremlin. Russia's response was swift and sudden, with missile strikes on coastal provinces and direct threats to the merchant ships that had once sailed the Baltic Sea with impunity. Something darker was at work, a force unseen and untouchable that reached back through the ages to command power and respect. Rumors circulated of old pacts between men of great means and of the ancient curses that still hung over the water. It seemed like a force of nature had decided to take matters into its own hands, though it remained to be seen who would pay the price for it.

Ukraine grain deal extended for two months: Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday announced a two-month extension of a UN-backed deal under which Ukraine ships grain across the Black Sea to global markets.  Erdogan made the announcement one day before it had been due to expire, scoring a diplomatic coup ahead of a May 28 runoff election in which he will try to extend his two-decade rule until 2028.  He thanked “my precious…

Grain Deal Resumes After Kiev Security Guarantees to Russia

Grain Deal Resumes After Kiev Security Guarantees to Russia

Russia has resumed its participation in the Türkiye and UN-mediated grain deal on the export of Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea, the Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday. Moscow agreed to reverse the grain deal suspension after getting written guarantees from Kiev that it would not use the safety corridor provided by Russia for military purposes, the statement said. “At this time, the…

Notes on the World Map: Melini

I'm kind of annoyed the complete World Bible doesn't have a version of the World Map with Melini filled in... unless it does and I missed it, but I literally bought it and looked at the relevant pages for this post! Anyway, I think this is the closest we have. I'm looking at this and -- Kahka Brud literally doesn't have a coast anymore. No wonder they're pissed!! Any industry involving the sea, trade, fishing, etc. is basically impossible now - you'd have to get to the coastline on the west side of the continent. That's probably miles!

Speaking of miles... how big is Melini?

This is where I got... really unwell. So first off, let's assume the official Dunmeshi World Map is a Mercator projection. I think the stage cartography in the Dunmeshi universe is at, it's going to be most important that maps are useful for marine navigation. So we can't just drop an approximate scale onto the grid and leave it at that; we have to work out where the equator is.

The way I've done that is via two places that seem like they have a close(ish) real world equivalent - in terms of climate and culture - Utaya and the Island of Wa (Toshiro's home). The Island of Wa is obviously Japan, and I've seen plausible arguments that Utaya is probably a climate/location similar to Nepal.

So, here's the (approximate) location and latitude of those places on a Mercator map of Earth:

If we arbitarily superimpose the two maps, asssuming they're the same size, we can draw a theoretical equator line that puts the two places at the same latitude, though on a different side of the equator. Putting them on the same side as Earth made the equator really low. I feel like that's ... unlikely, so we're going with this.

That puts Melini at a rough latitude of .. ~55? which would, using the same scale as the previous map, make two squares (at that latitude) about 600 miles. Very roughly calculating the size as given on the map based on that, that gives a width of (approximately) 250 miles and a length of 400, coming in at a bit less than 100,000 miles² due to the shape. Probably it's between the sizes of the UK and Aotearoa.

That really helps me visualise what Laios is working with here when I think about post-canon. Though I reckon what I've done here is "Just enough research to really annoy an expert". Sorry if you're that expert. I really don't know much about cartography <3 It's like that xkcd comic:

On distances, as someone who lives in the UK; with a car, you can get almost anywhere in a day if you're prepared to drive until late. But they don't have cars, so getting from one end to the other would take multiple days of travel. It'd take about 7 days to walk the approx "length", 400~ miles (from the top of Scotland to Liverpool) (according to Google Maps) and 2 days cycling, so probably 3-5 days with horses, depending on how you pushed them. That'd vary a bit depending on terrain, of course.

Word on the street is negotiations between the WGA and the studios are still currently taking place going into the evening…

#byler #take everything with a grain of salt #until the wga updates #nothing is set in stone #but for reference #it’s about 7:30pm rn for them #they have been negotiating for 8 hrs.. #the fact that they are said to still currently be in talks and could continue to be negotiating into the night... #in person... #that is not normal. #usually they will talk during business hours and separate around 4-5pm max #bc if a deal is not being met there is no reason to go further into the evening #unless of course they feel they are close to a deal and it’s worth it to keep pushing through.. #some major writer accounts are talking about staying up until midnight for an update #bc if it takes that long for an update then it would presumably mean they made the effort to stay to get a deal made… #also the fact that the executives are there in person is making me sort of hmmm #i don't see a point in them all coming together for days and hours on end going into the evening now #only to not strike a deal #and then be forced to come back to the table a month from now #looking dumb af #so… #I would say I’m more hopeful than I was before.. #like maybe tonight #more likely something more tangible tomorrow…? #maybe a deal next week? #I’m hoping rn next week might be definitive actually #regardless #stay tuned for wga statement 🫡
