UCE
Ungovernable Chaotic Entity, a country where large portions of the land and population are no longer under government control.
RSS
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a large nationalist volunteer and political movement in India.
PPC
Allegedly the leading cement and lime company in Africa.
ROI
A small political party in Slovakia which exists to represent the interests of the local Roma population.
SERPS
The State Earnings Related Pension Scheme which ran in the UK between 1978 and 2002.
USP
The secret police in the Central African Republic.
Bounce
A design characteristic in golf clubs, referring to the angle formed between the front of the sole and the ground.
ISP
Abbreviation for specific impulse, a term describing the fuel efficiency of jets and rockets.
Yahoo
