Long time ago, before the internet, all the puzzles and games were offline (and many did not require more than pencil and paper, or chalk and a sidewalk, or a chess board, or absolutely nothing).  Nowadays, as more and more games and puzzles are available online and a lot of providers are switching to a subscription or ad-funded model, maybe it's time to go back to the basics (i.e. offline)? 



Rome statute: red (non-signatory), orange (prev/retracted signatory), purple (withdrawn), yellow (not ratified)

3 of 5 permanent veto-wielding members of the UN pseudo-Security Council are not signatories to the Rome statute. For US, Clinton signed but never intended to ratify it. Russia signed in 2000, but withdrew in late 2016 after it was preliminarily found to have run afoul in 2014 re: Ukraine. China and India never signed even. Of the top 10 most populous countries, only 4 are signatories (Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh and Mexico). At least 2/3 of the world population lives in non-signatory countries.
