PDVSA: Petroleum Demands Very Silly Attitudes
IMF: Interrupts Marriages Frequently
CIA: Clearly Interfering Americans
GDP: Generally Depressed Populace
AFJP: Another F***ing Jodido Pais
CODELCO: Copper Often Defines Elementary Life of Chilean Organizations
OECD: Only Enters Clueless Democracies
WTO: Wicked Tariff Oppression
NAFTA: Now American Friends Treated as Assholes
