Hog, there was at one time a threat by some South American countries to include illegal drug production and distribution into their GDP numbers because they are such significant sources of income - it was because of the way the IMF rules on different things, for whatever reason at the time including drugs would have meant much better rates or something because it proved the countries were financially solvent.
