Same sex marriage across the USA, DC, its territories and tribal nations

This map is a good reminder that tribal law and US law can overlap in really complicated ways, so the situation isn’t always as simple as “legal” or “illegal”.

Grey (Banned under tribal law): These tribes ban same-sex marriages using their own tribal sovereignty and they also don’t recognise same-sex marriages from outside jurisdictions. Basically, under their own law, those marriages are not considered valid. The clearest example is the Navajo Nation (the big grey area).

Violet (Accepted but no licences issued): They recognise same-sex marriages and give them full rights, but they don’t issue marriage licences themselves. So you would need to get married somewhere else and they’ll recognise it. Examples include the Chitimacha Tribe, the Kickapoo Tribe and the territory of American Samoa.

Stripes (Mixed jurisdiction): This is the most complicated one. The tribal ban only applies to its own members, but non-members living within the same territory fall under state law, which allows same-sex marriage. This means your legal status depends entirely on who you are and which office you go to. The best example of this is the Muscogee (Creek) Nation territory in Oklahoma.

There are now 2.3M immigrants in Poland (5.9% of total population of 38.8M)

Overall, just under 2.3 million foreigners live in Poland (5.9% of the total population), up from virtually 0 twelve years ago (in 2014).

However, they are not evenly distributed. The largest number of foreigners live in the so-called Big Five cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan and Tricity). Outside of large cities, a significant percentage of foreigners can also be found in municipalities in the Lower Silesian, Lubusz, and Greater Poland voivodeships. The record holder is the town of Mikstat in Greater Poland, where just over half the residents (!) are immigrants. In 105 municipalities, the percentage of foreigners exceeded 10%, and over half of all immigrants in Poland lived there.

The lowest number of immigrants can be found in rural municipalities in eastern Poland. Not a single foreigner lived in five municipalities: Chrzanów (Lublin Voivodeship), Boguty-Pianki (Masovian Voivodeship), Jaśliska (Subcarpathian Voivodeship), Bieżuń (Masovian Voivodeship), and Bogoria (Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship). In 157 other municipalities, there were fewer than 10 foreigners.

Overall, immigrants settle primarily in municipalities with large meat or fish processing plants, logistics facilities, and large factories.

How the Great Britain and Ireland (and surrounding isles) are Connected via Social Media

This site create demarcations for regions based on how they are connected via social media. I was curious if we'd see a clear North-South divide for England, but as I toyed around with different numbers of regions, I thought it was interesting to see how the region demarcated itself socially.

Number of Divisions Regions Details
2 Ireland, Great Britain
3 Ireland, Scotland, England & Wales Galloway inexplicably part of England & Wales
4 Ireland, Scotland, Northern England & Wales, Southern England & Wales Wales is continually carved up laterally along the same lines as England
5 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Midlands, The South
6 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Midlands, The Southwest, Eastern England London is part of Eastern England. Interesting that Cardiff and Oxford are closer than Oxford and London
7 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, the Southwest, Eastern England Isle of Man is divided between Manchester and Birmingham
8 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, the Southwest, Greater London, Eastern England
9 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, York, the Southwest, Greater London, Eastern England
10 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, York, Cornwall & Wales, Lesser Mercia, Greater London, Eastern England
11 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, Midlands, York, Cornwall & Wales, Lesser Mercia, Greater London, Eastern England
12 Ireland, Scotland, The North, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, York, Cornwall & Wales, Lesser Mercia, Outer London, Greater London, Eastern England
13 Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, The North, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, York, Cornwall & Wales, Lesser Mercia, Outer London, Greater London, Eastern England The first stage Ireland gets partitioned!
14 Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Lower Scotland, Greater Newcastle Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, York, Cornwall & Wales, Lesser Mercia, Outer London, Greater London, Eastern England Where we finally see the most rural part of Northern England torn off from a major urban center and grouped with Galloway
15 Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Lower Scotland, Greater Newcastle Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, York, Cornwall, Wales, Lesser Mercia, Outer London, Greater London, Eastern England First entirely Welsh grouping
