Huh.  I ruled out Australia because you specified a national rate - I was sure it would be provincial jurisdiction in Australia (like it is in Canada).
Newsweek could be writing bullshit.  I can't vouch for it.

The French submarine Le Surcouf was part of an invasion force during the Second World War.  Under what flag did it serve and where did the invasion occur?

Siezed by the Japs i 1940 and took part in the invasion of Malaya?

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

unpossible.

Okay, lets go with the more obvious guess:

Free French forces, invasion of Normandy.

British flag, invasion of Madagascar.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
