United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758, passed on October 25, 1971, recognized the People's Republic of China (PRC) as "the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations". Previously the Chinese seat at the UN had been occupied by representatives from the Republic of China, otherwise known as Taiwan.

Re: Counting
The decimal expansion of ((e + π)/9)^3 begins 0.2760... , so multiplied by 10000 it's slightly more than 2760.
You can easily check this with a calculator - but how did I find it out?

And as I'm sure you all know, arcsin (3/11) is approximately 0.2762, or 2762/10000. Source: A Dictionary of Real Numbers by Borwein and Borwein - a project even more bizarre than OEIS!

I'd forgotten what "glamping" was until I read this - a mixture of "glamour" and "camping". Mr Blue Sky (2764) in Cornwall is described as "a delightful shepherd's hut with views". Its picture window frames a beautiful garden vista, while in the distance you can see a panorama of the Atlantic ocean.

Here's a rather arresting video called Future of the World 2766-3000. The person who created it clearly thinks there are going to be a lot of political changes around that time. Somehow it got over 56,000 views in three months!
