So, I got this game yesterday. I barely know what I'm doing right now, honestly.

So, I'm looking to produce meat boxes as part of my first production chain. I googled a bunch, checked the motorpedia, and found you should just have to take containers to the Gujwa Meat Factory and it'll give me delicious meat boxes.

I keep getting airplane meal pallets instead. I can't find anything that specifies what they should be producing. I wondered if maybe Airplane Meals Pallets are the same thing as meat boxes, but they appear to be seperate things.

How do I get it to produce meat boxes instead of airplane meals?

Anyone who went to school in America (or played certain Paradox grand strategy games) is undoubtedly familiar with the concept of Manifest Destiny, the idea that the US had the right to own the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

I was wondering about the origins of the concept. My cursory research shows that John O'Sullivan is credited with coming up with the term "Manifest destiny" in 1845, but he was giving a name to an idea that already existed, as best I can tell. Andrew Jackson was an early supporter of Manifest destiny (before the term had been coined) but, again, he does not seem to be the origin of the idea.

Finally, I checked to see if any of the Founding Fathers supported such an idea and it doesn't seem so. They were much more concerned with stabilizing the Thirteen Colonies into a nation. Admittedly, Jefferson oversaw the Louisiana Purchase, one of the earliest expansions of US territory and a significant move towards the Pacific, but he didn't seem to be justifying it via an idea that resembled Manifest destiny.

What I was able to find shows it was a general idea the early US had. Maybe it has no traceable origin in the sense of saying, "This specific group of politicians/people first started supporting the idea and popularized it."

So, at this point, I must turn to this fantastic subreddit. What can you tell me on the origins of Manifest destiny?

Every once in a while, when the subject of Russia having a seat on the security council comes up here on Reddit, someone will pop up insisting Russia "stole" the USSR's security council seat and it should be vacant.

I saw someone point out the following language in the charter recently: "The Security Council shall consist of fifteen Members of the United Nations. The Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council." They drew the conclusion that Russia is not the Soviet Union, therefore they have no right to be on the Security Council.

Looking it up myself, it seems one of the final official acts of the USSR was to transfer their seat to Russia, which seems to me like it should be sufficient. But I'm also aware a whole 5 minutes of searching on my part is not necessarily sufficient research.

So, the question I guess I'm asking here is, was this at all controversial? Did anyone (as in, a UN member) argue the transfer was invalid or anything along those lines?
