The study of how factors such as geography, economics, military capability and non-State actors affects the foreign policy of states.

All articles will require a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences.

Use the article title as the submission title. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.

In this community we encourage long, in-depth submissions. Submissions should not be news articles that merely provide quick updates on current events; instead they should include background information and an explanation as to why the events they describe are occurring.

Submissions should not be about an individual country's domestic policies. Instead, they should be about relationships between different countries and/or relevant international organizations. Things like breakaway politics are permitted in this subreddit, as they are relevant to and could affect the geopolitical system.

Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable sources. When posting from a lesser known source, please check whether the authors have some sort of qualification demonstrating they are knowledgeable of the subjects they discuss.

Sources that include (or solely contain) maps, statistics, or other multimedia (videos, interviews, primary sources, etc.) are permitted and even encouraged in this subreddit.

We encourage discussion and welcome anyone to pose hypotheses and ask questions. We allow self-posts.

We encourage comments to be cited.

ProleWiki is one of the only places on the internet that has an explanation on the pizza index since wikipedia deleted theirs, and it's consistently one of our most deleted pages. In the 2 days leading up to the strikes, we made like 3-4x our usual daily visits, most of it concentrated on that page. Today, we are already logging 3x our usual number of visits and the analytics server's time is barely 7AM if it's any indication

This fact still blows my mind. It was wild the first time you told it, and even wilder now that you can see Prolewiki as the only source in action.

Prolewiki is the top result for "pizza index" in google right now, but there are lots of news sites explaining what it is, especially if you also include "pentagon" in your search.

I feel like it would be a cool project to set up a notification system for when that dominos spikes late at night.

I had no idea that stress eating was such a serious problem in the Pentagon.
