The border is the demarcation between the Alpha and Beta Quadrant. This does not change.

Naah. Onscreen, nobody has ever defined what the demarcation life between Alpha and Beta Quadrants is. But offscreen, it has absolutely nothing to do with national borders - it's the straight line (that is, plane) from the geometrical center of the galaxy through Sol (or some sort of an abstract definition of where Sol is on the average).
Except in this map it ain't - it's one sector or 20 lightyears antispinwards from where Sol is "supposed" to be on that map. Although that is utterly dependent on assumptions that need not hold true:
1) That this map is indeed related to the thing that it in the real world is based on - the old Star Charts map by yours truly
2) That the sector grid there remains 20 lightyears (the locations of real stars on the map would confirm that, but I think we only see Regulus here)
3) that Sol is where it's "supposed" to be, rather than one grid notch antispinwards
In other words, whatever this map is, it's not a contradiction of anything much, and it doesn't create any obligations.

Tonight's episode: the signal strength being 10^12 power. TMP homage!!
The USS Muroc might have been named after the Vulcan Muroc from the Enterprise episode "Cease fire". With the USS Hoover, the Hoover class now has a class ship. "petaQ" was said by L'Rell.
They hired someone who knew the language to coach the actors.
It was far more likely named after Muroc Army Air Base in California, now known as Edwards Air Force Base, given the show's prominent use of test pilot names for ship classes.
Anyone catch the Cage sound effects when Saru was undergoing his "transformation"? First it was the old warp drive spool-up sound, followed by the classic transporter effect. It actually felt kind-of out of place in a 21st century production. 
I noticed those, as well! I thought it was great having those in there! That, coupled with the bluish-green, singing leaves gave it a TOS feel overall!Anyone catch the Cage sound effects when Saru was undergoing his "transformation"?

Yes I was quite impressed at how they did the blue forest. Must have been some serious color correction/replacement going on there in post. Very well done. While some of the editing in this episode was a bit dodgy, IMO, the top-shelf production values still persist.
There had to be a good amount of color work done. In the trailers right after the series premiered, the planet sequences looked like normal daylight shots with regular shades of green.
Yes a nice homage.Anyone catch the Cage sound effects when Saru was undergoing his "transformation"? First it was the old warp drive spool-up sound, followed by the classic transporter effect. It actually felt kind-of out of place in a 21st century production.
