The first time Cyprus and Slovenia were together in the running order was in #11.
The odds have significantly reduced as we go on due to semi-finals (first two and then three).
The next time was in the SF of #29. Between #36 and #45 it was 3 times in the final. Nothing too unusual I'd say. In the 7th decade it was once in the semi (#68) and once in the final (#63). Nothing until the SF of #80 and then something interesting happens. Between #89 and #93 Cyprus and Slovenia appeared next to each other 4 times, while in previous 85 editions only 8 times.
Out of all appearances together 1/3 was in the last 5 editions
For more (complicated) math, ask Mimis
The first time Cyprus and Slovenia appeared together in the running order in Retro was in #18.
It repeated already in #19, but then not for over 20 editions until #40. In the same decade it happened again in #45. This reoccurred 3 times in the 6th decade. Then not for a while again until #76. But then we reach the anomaly again. Another 3 times in the 11th decade.
I don't really understand the odds here. The semis should increase the chances due to two running orders in one edition. But if we're not in the same semi in the first place then it already can't happen. Same when we're AQ. Interestingly enough we appeared together 11 times in Retro and 12 times in WWW. That would make it 9,7% in Retro and almost 13% of the editions in the main contest.
Of course I haven't checked this for every country, I just did it for Cyprus because I've been noticing this for quite some months now.
This also never happened in the first decade of any contest/sub-contest. So it was never in Themed so far.
Final summation: Cyprus and Slovenia were placed next to each other in the running order 7 times this year in WWWSC and RWWWSC alone. Is this abnormal? Is it suspicious? Probably if someone else made this post It's not like anything is gained by placing us next to each other so often. I only say this because we are in fact the ones who do the running orders with the help of Florian. He only did it a few times in Retro, but one time he helped me it also happened.
Anyway, I didn't have to make all this research, but I really wanted to make the meme however.

New map of Europe according to WWWSC running order
Finally 
ferrygraf can go to the beach (without having to leave the country) 
Jokes aside, the running order is completely random... The only thing that is not exactly random is the allocation of countries in semi finals but that's a completely different story. So yeah, not sure why this keeps on happening so frequently but it's really not up to me

Italy 
Hungary 
Portugal 
Finland 
Spain 
Russia 
France 
Germany 
and 
were not edited, but I'll probably re-try them anyway.
Those small towns/villages were hard though, never heard of some of them, neither the surrounding ones that were on the signs.
