Wouldn't it be a +2 since whatever way you put the piece back on, the puzzle will be solved, either with or without a penalty?

Your country isnt in the database because no-one from your country has competed. If you went to a competition, your country would then be added to the database, and you would be added to your country. Also, if there are no competitions in your country, traveling may be required, but you would still be entered for your own country.

can you request how your cube is oriented on the mat before it is revealed to you for your inspection time?

There's debate over this issue right now. My personal opinion is that it's an implicit violation of the rules to provide that (I would maintain that it constitutes the judge assisting the competitor with a solve, which is illegal according to the rules); I think the rules should be clarified to clearly indicate that this is illegal. I wouldn't allow it at a competition I was delegating (at least, not until the board tells me I should allow it, whereupon I would probably change my mind
).

Actually it is. (assuming it's "Republic Of Georgia")
It's just not shown because we only show the used ones. Less than half of the countries in the database have been used so far.

hmmm, okay. is it a popular request? i practice this way so maybe i should stop doing that
. It's trivial really but i personally feel it should be allowed. or if not there should be a standard orientationhcfong

I've never requested a specific orientation myself, nor have i ever been asked by a competition to place a cube in a specific orientation when judging, so i'd say it's not a popular request at all.

When speedsolving magic and master magic, can it touch the timer during and after the solve?

I'm pretty sure it can't make contact with the timer before the solve. As for when after the solve is finished, I'm not too sure

Why do we use average of 5 in competitions? To me it seems obvious that 12 would be better.
i know it would take longer, bbut they could at least do ao12 in the finals.

would there be a penalty if a square-1 is half sliced?
