    Srameen strikes again! How does he do it?! :pac: :D (that sounded like one of my answers, S. :))

    Is it the cantons' regulatory body or some such?

    I'm not sure if that expands in any way on the "political" clue. You'll have to do better.

    P.S. Political scientists have lots to say about it.

    Another to keep us going.

    The 1900 Olympics were the first to include sports where women could compete in individual disciplines. Which two disciplines were they?

    Was something like dancing in it? Those early Olympics had expositions and the like attached, resulting in some more "arty" disciplines. A totally random guess at the second would be croquet
