Of course. We'll never know whether there is going to be Wikimedia 
Panama or not. But that's not exactly my point. ;) As you know, 
Wikimedia Canada is something that's not very far away. However, what 
will be the abbreviation of Wikimedia California, as I'm sure it will 
exist some time in the future? Think of other cases with existing 
chapters: Delaware and Illinois. :)
