Yes.

 

 

On another note Asma al-Assad (on multiple teams here) is a bit more on the border and I had been thinking if I should accept her or not. I can't find any mention of her ever having participated in an election or having held an official post.

However I have come to the conclusion that I will accept her due to the sanctions, involvement in Assad's regime (see for example this) and the "etc." at the end of rule 3. She was more of a politician than some previously picked royals.

FYI: By default I'll remove Carter from all of your lists and everyone under him gets up a spot, your first sub at 10. You can also replace him with a sub or put your second sub at spot 10, but if you do so, please mention it to avoid any confusion.

Marita Camacho Quirós - Wikipedia says she's a member of Costa Rica's National Liberation Party but I can't find a single mention of her having participated in any political activities (not counting being a First Lady, standing next to the Fords, etc)

Strongly considering rejecting this pick as it seems she hasn't been selected or perhaps allowed during previous years. Any thoughts?

I have no feelings either way but think it should be applied consistently, so not sure where that would leave Asma al-Assad.
