Prompt 2 of 5
Pin a country where Napoleon Bonaparte commanded in a battle
Ruling note: Only battles he led in person count, so Portugal and Haiti don’t. Syria is an exception for his Syrian campaign’s name, despite its fighting being outside modern Syria. Slovenia counts as a close call for the 1797 campaign; his personal command there is uncertain.
Gem note: In 1799 his march up the coast from Egypt ended at Acre, in Israel today. Vitebsk and the Berezina crossing of 1812 were both in Belarus.

Prompt 5 of 5
Pin a country where river dolphins live in the wild
Ruling note: Only river dolphin species count, wherever they live: the Amazon, Ganges, Indus and La Plata river dolphins, the baiji, the tucuxi and the Irrawaddy dolphin. Sea dolphins do not, even up a river. China counts for its baiji, which may be extinct, and its Yangtze finless porpoise; Laos lost its last river dolphin in 2022.
Gem note: River dolphins and their close relatives can spend their whole lives in fresh water, far from the sea.
