Amusingly, "peru" is a word in Finnish, or actually two:
as a noun it means "potato" in a number of dialects (abbreviated
from "peruna" in standard Finnish), and as a verb it means "cancel".
A bit more relevant, e.g., "peru.org" and "peru.fi" belong to US and
Finnish companies, respectively, selling travels to Peru, and
I doubt they've asked permission from Peruvian government either.
