Politics & World Events Sheep, Round 1 — A Forum Game

Alright, this has been doing pretty well in the Videogame Forum, I thought I'd try it here.

The object of the game is to think alike. For each question, give an answer that you think is most popular. For example, a question might be something like, "Name a popular pizza topping." A good answer would be pepperoni. A bad answer would be shiitake mushrooms.

Each question is then scored by its replies. Let's say there's six participants and of those, three said "Pepperoni", two said "Sausage" and one said "Basil" — The pepperoni players would each get 3 points, the sausage players 2 points, and the basil player 0 points.

The winner is the person with the highest score.

Remember — the point of the game is not the correct answer, but the answer you think most of the other forum members will give. Since this is the Politics & World Events Forum, all the questions will be Politics & World Events related.

To play, simply send me a private message (PM) with your answers, one per line. Please DO NOT number them.

Since I do not know how popular or unpopular this will be, I will leave this open for at least several days. This game works best if we can get at least 15 participants.

Do not use Wikipedia or Google — use only the knowledge in your head.
