Oooh, that's a nice excuse. Good thought.

(I don't suppose anyone here still plays Kennedy Approach - originally for the the Commodore 64 - but the no fly areas around DC are a *real* pain for air traffic controllers.  I can see so many Amber Zones being an equal pain for travellers, traders but perhaps not for troublemakers!). (Oh, and if it means anything to anyone, I've just passed GS-30 and $2,000,000 worth of salary in some 125 shifts. If only it were real [1])

Fortunately for my purposes the Amber Zones aren't really a problem. Except maybe to comment on in passing.  I don't need to come up with excuses for them or anything. I'll leave that for players and referees.

What is more of a pain is the shifting of some of the subsector capitals which rather spoils my nicely worked out counties.  I've only rechecked three subsectors thus far and two capitals have moved.  If that's about it I could justify them as old county boundaries not having caught up with the current capital assignments, but if there are many more I may have to do some rejigging which will be a real pain.

Ah well.  "Another job creation scheme" as my wife would dismissively say.  I should have stuck with my bibliography.
