THIS ^^^

(Personally, if I had the chance I'd burn that board.)

Sorry this is a bit off-topic... the moment that always makes me hate that thing is watching Aleandra&Marlene waiting inside the airport to start the leg while Carlos&Mauricio are trying to get a new passport to replace the lost one... that stupid TARLA rule... Hopefully this is gone now...

Now carry on with your topic on countries... sorry about that.  :)

Use this map to see if countries are considered "dangerous":

Suriname and the Guyanas have limited flights in and out of their respective int'l airport hubs. I think TAR won't be going to the three territories anytime soon simply because they don't want to run into any travel complications.

This is why some countries such as Chile & Argentina are overused.

I really don't mind reusing countries again and again as long as they continue to dish out tasks culturally related to a country each time they visit a place.

NOPE. The U.S. Embargo against Cuba prevents the Race from going there.

Israel? ??? Seems to be ridiculous and dangerous to go there because of long time Palestine issue.

But TAR Aus (and not mention TAR Israel which was the host country) has been visited there. IDK.

If TAR is continuing to be this cheap about routes and tasks, why not travel into Luxembourg via train from Paris or Kyrgyzstan after a Leg in Ankara, Turkey?

That's a good idea. Ever since most Turkey leg always visit Istanbul, it is very good potential to visit Turkey outside Istanbul especially on Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. If TAR continuing to safe budget, they can go to Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Armenia either, but IDK whether the safety of these counties is allowed to have a visit without any issues. (TAR20 did go to Azerbaijan, which is neighbour to Georgia & Armenia.)  ???

I'd like to see two legs in Turkey, probably one leg in a historical site and one in Ankara.

I go to turkey 3 times a year and I go to a place called Oludeniz which is home to a lot of paragliding and is one of the most beautiful places ever for paragliding I think Tar could go to here and then a leg in Ankara the airport in Dalaman flys to most of England and Germany also Amsterdam, Istanbul and Moscow / St. Petersburg

The Azerbaijan government probably footed the bill for the entire leg including security. I read somewhere they spend loads on advertising their country.

Well there is a historical site in Turkey that would be best suited for a visit from TARAus or TARNZ(If it ever gets made) which is Gallipoli.

Spanish League recent champion, Atlético de Madrid, has been sponsored by Azerbaijan's government (ads) for the last 3 years or so. You also had to see how many things they did to have a modern city when the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Bakú. Nonetheless, there seems to be some powerful people who rule everything which makes people living there quite "miserable" with respect to those who hold petrol or whatever. It is just disappointing tbh :/
