People here are used to floodings. They usually come once or twice a year, but the heights have increased. Amazingly, most of this is not due to climate change, but due to the modernisation of the landscape, so the river is confined in a corset of dams which doe not allow for floodplains, andd similar issues.

But people here have experience how to deal with most of the floods. For example, there is a pub down at the promenade. The room is tiled to the ceiling, electrical outlets are all up there, and they can disconnect the bar from fresh and gray water and electricity, seal everything up, and roll it out and up to safety, while the waiters and waitresses put everything on pallets and move it likewise. In less than thirty minutes they can turn the pub into an empty room. After the flood, they just steam clean everything and move back in.

When the number of dwarves had dwindled down to eight, they started to suspect Hungry.

Does "blackmailed and owned by a dictator" not count as "foreign donation"?

Da fehlt das Wählscheiben-Telefon.
