Would something like an orc burrow work?
Regarding the motivation issue, I find it helps to set a deadline to finish a map, within a month or two. They won't be perfect maps, but the perfect is the enemy of the good. (Or in this case, the existent.)
Is Scientology a recognized religion in France, or is it just considered a secular organization? I would assume the latter from this --
-- but if that's the case, I'd like to know how they distinguish between a "church" and a "sect masquerading as a church".
I agree that "faith informing politics" is more appropriate for the Taliban for the United States of America. But I do have to correct you on a minor point: most "hillbillies" are Protestant, both in the technical sense and as slang for "rural American". If you're going to bother...
For anyone who cares, the "King Canute" reference refers to a Viking king of England. The story goes that he was so tired of being surrounded by yes-men that he took his whole court out to the seashore, then pointed out that even he couldn't stop the tides from rising.

I'm not entirely sure where the "eco" fits in with these "eco-rigs". All right, so they don't produce any greenhouse gases, but they're still flipping the ocean ecosystem upside-down and filling it with "specially selected seaweed" to bolster their "dwindling fish stocks": that is, it's a farm...
Actually, no, this isn't about Sharia religious law. If Senator Zehri is correct, this is a specifically Baluch practice; it has no connection with Islam. Furthermore, Pakistan isn't a Sharia country. Even furthermore, everybody else in Parliament was upset and quite a few denounced him in...
I understood your setting was a post-apocalyptic culture struggling to survive? With our current technology, it would take trillions of years to produce even a gram of antimatter; it seems odd that people living after unimaginable devastation (if you really mean that four or five billion people...
