Who the gently caress is buying that refined petroleum?

I know that sometimes places don’t have their own refineries so all their needs have to be met by someone else’s exports, but this is some fucky paperwork poo poo like how Russia “exports” bananas to the republics of Central Asia.

e: The actual answer is that it’s exported mostly to the landlocked nation of Zambia.

"In recent years oil has been imported from Kuwait and also from Bahrain. Seychelles imports three times more oil than is needed for internal uses because it re-exports the surplus oil in the form of bunker for ships and aircraft calling at Mahé. There are no refining capacities on the islands."

Got it in three today because I coincidentally read an article about the answer a few months ago and remembered it from the article as a place with tons and tons of fish and a little bit of other stuff too.

the triangulation stuff can be really misleading. it measures from the geographical centre of one country to the geographical centre of another, so it will tell you that Canada and the US are like 2500 km away from each other

extra confusing because idk how they calculate the geographical centre of a country like the US, do they just ignore Hawaii and Alaska and Puerto Rico? is the geographical centre of the UK in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean because of the Falklands?

it counts the falklands separately so no worries there. but yeah it can be pretty misleading

its really weird figuring out what they used for the distance, although it gives you a general location

its better to guess by the materials exported e.g. raw minerals and lumber = south and latin america, africa, terrorism = pakistan, etc

This pretty much all luck in a wild stab at the first tiny island nation being close enough to rule out everything else.

I’ll try using a different browser tomorrow and see if that doesn’t fix the sharing code.
