#1 This is a good thing:

Panama is almost universally regarded as a "flag of convenience" nation, in which virtually none of the 6,000 plus ships registered under its flag are owned by genuine Panamanian companies, or staffed by Panamanian crews and officers. -- Singapore Business Times [link]

Hope we can make about 101 similar deals.
