A thing to add:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5138620.stm

"Meanwhile four of the country's nine regions seem to have voted strongly in favour of greater autonomy.

The president is opposed to the moves to give regions more powers.

Santa Cruz, Tarija, Pando and Beni states are all rich in the country's natural resources."

It seems these richer, conservative and opposition regions want to distance themselves from the nationalisation of the natural resources proposed by Evo Morales.

Yep, good old Stratfor warned about this...if Morales pushes too hard you might just see a civil war and/or secession. I think ag posted about this at some point...

I'm hoping for succession. We need new countries.
You just got Montenegro! Stop being greedy! Wink
