Resolves to all that are true. I will add more as the season progresses.
I may bet unless something appears or becomes subjective, in which case I will not bet. If something unexpectedly becomes subjective after I've already established a position I will outsource resolution if necessary.
I don't promise to watch so religiously that I don't miss any of these, so bettors should proactively seek resolutions, but I do promise to go back and check time stamps if provided.
I will close this set of questions the day before the finale is broadcast on Nebula, and will not resolve until it has been shown on YouTube. Obviously information will have been transferred in many markets before then, so participate at your own risk of spoilers.
Likewise individual markets will resolve after relevant evidence is on YouTube.
In general, events must appear on screen to count. If footage or audio is lost but the episode still confirms it took place and mattered that would count, but referring to something happening in a way that makes it clear not showing it was an editorial choice would not count.
In this context, physical location or mode of transport always matters.
Things we see or here during the 'outro' where the producers talk directly to camera in a studio setting do not count, unless specified.
Likewise anything shown in an outtakes episode.

**Or a recognisable variant of it
** * Counting microstates are Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City
**** Andorra counts, so does Gibraltar

3.00@JoshuaWilkes hm, so Vaduz seems out of the question. Ben&Adam most likely visit the Vatican. Vilnius seems unattractive geographically. There don't seem to be convenient flights for them from Rome to Valetta, and from other places it's quite far.
@JoshuaWilkes this can now resolve YES. turns out it's crazy beautiful there.

All mountains in Liechtenstein are the Alps.
(Very mild Ep 3 spoilers below)
I suggest adding the question "Anyone explicitly criticizes the leader of a claimable country." An example would be the criticism Ben and Adam gave to the Prince of Liechtenstein. I was kinda surprised Orban wasn't mentioned, honestly, and the best bet for a YES resolution is probably the Pope.
@JoshuaWilkes The difference is whether they stop at Hyllie station, which is the first stop in Sweden from the Oresund bridge, or if they will continue to the central station. I am assuming they will cross the bridge from Denmark
@JoshuaWilkes Technically yes, but the trains are much more frequent and accessible. I’d say it would be very unlikely
