I have met exactly one person from Bhutan in my life. We worked together as Chefs in NYC for about a year. Really cool dude, and I've always wanted to travel there some day after hearing him talk about it so much.

In my Trek headcanon, Baseball becomes increasingly popular on Bajor in honor of the Emissary of the Prophets, Ben Sisko, and his affection for the game, to the point that a formalized league forms.

You’re getting downvoted, but I think this is exactly the attitude that the use of “remote” implies.

Not a native speaker, but "Florida, the most remote state in USA" doesn't quite sound right

Of course, Hawai'i would be the most remote state, anyway. But even in the contiguous 48, I feel Maine might be farther from the geographical center (a point in Kansas near its border with Nebraska) than Florida.

According to which dictionary? https://www.dictionary.com/browse/remote

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I', talking about 'distance', here, not 'remote'. But the answer is still Merriam-Webster: iam-webster.com/dictionary/distance">https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/distance - But even your link, the dictionary.com definition of remote, includes "secluded" as part of its definition.
