The Marshall Islands is an island nation in the Pacific which has no central bank, no unique currency, and uses the US Dollar as its de facto official currency. In 2018, the Marshall Islands put forward a proposal to replace the US Dollar with a new, blockchain-based digital currency called the SOV as their only legal tender. This currency is notably different from widely available crypto-currencies as it is a new currency made by the Marshall Islands, and it has a fixed rate of inflation in perpetuity.

In a ‘fee for service’ system, doctors bill provincial health insurance providers and receive the appropriate fee for the service they provided. Meanwhile, the capitation system is one in which doctors sign on and become responsible for a set of patients. These doctors receive a fixed salary scaled to the expectation of how often their patients will use their services; for example, the pay would be higher for doctors that take on older or pregnant patients.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an intergovernmental body designed to regulate international trade and has 164 members. When two member countries have a trade dispute, the Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) of the World Trade Organization requires members to go through WTO arbitration and only if this arbitration is unsuccessful can they engage in trade sanctions.

Loaning players in soccer refers to when a team that owns the contract of a player sends that player for the duration of a season to another team. Usually for the duration of that season the team that the player is loaned to would pay the player's wages with the team that is loaning the player retaining ownership of the player's contract. This is usually done for younger players who would otherwise not make the starting XI or for players that are deemed surplus to team requirements and is often used by large and successful teams. FIFA is a global body that regulates the number of players that teams are allowed to loan in and out of their respective teams.
