We hear and learn about historical countries represent, but i'm curious as to how many folks here know wtf is going on in non-controversial and/or reputably unsuitable ones.

So there we have it. How did Chile bargain for beachfront property? sheeyitt..

At least villagers can now get fresh food to market.

If you're the kind of guy who really likes a pat on the back - give money to build a health clinic in Bolivia. It's almost like having extra kids since you can hear about the ones that only survive due to the clinic:

No, retard. My grandparents donate money, etc. Eating food off a dirty plate in a ditch? Huh?

I am too poor to build a clinic.
