Notes:
  1. River Plate qualified for the Copa Libertadores group stage by winning the 2018–19 Copa Argentina.
gollark: It would make it not very usable as a way to do small transactions.

gollark: That would probably create a lot of friction.
gollark: And charge whoever invokes things in those somehow?
