#5  The link to divided Bolivia for the curious. The guy causing the trouble mentioned in the linked article is the new Presidente, I think.

#3  Bolivia to split into two in five, four, three, two, one...

#1  "Foreign energy firms have invested $3.5 billion in Bolivia since 1996.

But after the passage of the new hydrocarbons law in May, and amid increasing calls for an outright nationalisation of the energy industry in Bolivia, they have mostly frozen any new investments for this year."
