I'm not trying to be an ass here, but I think this question could be good for the group.Not everyone here is from America or the Euro-ancestral nations for the matter. That said, notable periods of history and well-known figures could vary pretty significantly. For example, if one wanted to place a story set during the Soviet-Afgan War, this period is very significant to many, but not really common knowledge in America. There are numerous other situations like this, so I just wanted to get some clarification. This is absolutely a criticism. I love the changes and this theme, and am happy to see the WOTM back and strong!

I actually had the same want for a clarification because I was thinking of writing a piece taking place during the Bakumatsu in Japan.
