gollark: It's *expensive* to fiddle with the numbers, see, so it won't happen too much, and you could get international organizations to accept it.
gollark: You may mock me now, but this is the future of international trade.
gollark: For example, if the US government looks bad because unemployment is up 10 million, they can just buy 10 million employment from, say, Saudi Arabia, which has unelected leaders who don't really care, and their unemployment looks fine!
gollark: It makes sense, if you think about it. Some countries have lots of money and want to optimize for good-looking statistics. Some need money and don't really care what their unemployment figure is.
gollark: That would be unethical.
