How mad would people be if I moved the end date to 2040? What about 2030? Too much?

@Panfilo I changed it to 2040. Feel free to downvote me in 16 years.

I have to confess I had not heard of this country before ... you know something new everyday

Added Bolivia based on the news of their unilateral breaking of ties. Note that Turkey has not been added yet.

Governed by democratic republic, in theory, but had military coups in 2012 and 2022. Too occupied by domestic instability to do much else.

Taliban says unequivocal no. How likely is it that they will remain in power until 2050? How likely is it that the next ruler will want to recognize Israel?

Increasingly U.S. ally, in a polarized world it will have ties with Israel

@0482 The confidence in this despite recent setbacks is the most interesting part of the market so far, and I don't think I disagree.

I like this market but generally is tying up money in a super long term market worth it? I'm open to hearing pros/cons

@PlainBG Many people just throw in 5 Mana if they don't expect a market to move for a long time, BUT since this has so many options and the subject is so volatile, it could suddenly be really active for one or two specific countries just based on shifts in geopolitics. Keep in mind, if North Korea recognizes Israel tomorrow on a whim, that specific option resolves Yes tomorrow (unlike in linked outcome markets).
