Anyone else tired of "offshore" alliance bank?
How about requiring at least 5 nations in an alliance, or else alliance bank functionality is disabled. 5 nations that are not on Gray, nor in Vacation Mode. Thoughts?

Why is it that cheeseburgers come with cheese, but hamburgers don't come with ham?
-
Hamburgers originated in the city of Hamburg, Germany. They were named after a cut of steak called the “hamburg”.
“In the late eighteenth century, the largest ports in Europe were in Germany. Sailors who had visited the ports of Hamburg, Germany and New York, brought this food and term “Hamburg Steak” into popular usage. To attract German sailors, eating stands along the New York city harbor offered “steak cooked in the Hamburg style.”
-History of Hamburgers, Whats Cooking America
The intention of the word “hamburg” was not implying there was ham in it at all. Americans have modified this food and coined it “hamburger”, incorporating it into our culture.
America has also simplified this term to burger, with a cheeseburger being a hamburger with cheese.
