      This was quite educational. Basically, the IOC's official stance is:

      geordi-no "You started governing the regions you control? That's interfering with athletes in the region! BANNED!"

      geordi-yes "You started genociding the regions you control? Well, as long as you aren't governing, that's fine by us!"
