If someone tries to so much lay a hand on one those flying fish, then we’ll bomb ‘em back to the stone age!”
I think it should say "so much as lay a hand on one of those flying fish."

"Fluorinated" can mean:
- Treated or reacted with fluorine or hydrofluoric acid.
- Formally derived from another compound by the replacement of one or more atoms of hydrogen with fluorine.
It is not synonymous with "fluoridated" so it definitely doesn't work.

In my defense, I just googled the word and went with the first thing it told me.

While I'm at it, I'd prefer "illegally-imported", and a space snuck in at the beginning of option 1.

The effect (and line) lift the ban on video games, even if they were not banned in the first place (like at War Dogs VIII - which has some other weird policies that don't really fit there like No Computer and Child Self-Rearing). From the option text it feels like "do not forbid if legal and allow if illegal" kind of talk by that speaker. Is that intentional?

I see how it could be interpreted that way, but it's still more intuitive to read "other country" as meaning "other than the last country mentioned in the sentence", which is "@@HIS/HER@@ home country". It was mentioned too recently to not be the first thing that most readers think of.The Free Joy State wrote:To me, "any other country" suggests any other country that is not @@NAME@@Trotterdam wrote:#1230 says: "...no longer has access to ingredients from @@HIS/HER@@ home country, or any other country for that matter".

While technically it can be argued to be correct as it stands, I think it would be better to remove the ambiguity.

Also, this option shouldnt be available for nations not in the WA, but im not sure if thats the case because I am in the WA on this nation.
