I don't know what Wayne is basing his information on. Maybe something I don't
know about. When I lived in W Germany in Summer 1965, I had to register with
the police of the town I was in.

    Interestingly, Wayne has given us a test by which Nicaragua is NOT
communist. I travelled far and wide there in summer 1980 without ever having
to register anywhere with anybody for anything. Most people looked at me
like I was crazy for even asking whether I needed to. The only exception was
was in Matagalpa, which was undergoing terrorist attacks from the remnants of
Somoza's army, operating out of Honduras. The local authorities in Matagalpa
checked my id, after which I was free to roam there like anywhere else.
