The censored one is probably Niger

Looks like they censored the country Niger in their own post.

Steam censored it for them. Nobody would go and use hearts if they were to self censor. They'd use ****ing asterisks.

Niger is a known intentional misspelling of the n-word used to circumvent censorship. So this is an evolution of the Scunthorp problem.

The hearts are how steam censors things it believes to be swears

I live in Australia. I take this as a challenge.

There was also an anti-French Wagner/Russian backed military coup d'etat. The US had to closed down a drone base that kept eyes on terrorism suspects there. Even if it was perfect weather, probably not a great place to be right now.
