[meteorite-list] meteorites not being able to leave certain countries

[Michael Murray]

The "reasoning"? That's easy Steve, pick one:
- exercising absolute state authority,
- exercising autocratic authority
- exercising complete regulation by the state
- exercising a monopoly

BTW, in response to someone's statement about artifacts, I fail to  
find "meteorite" crouched anywhere in the meaning of the word  
"artifact".  That is an often used strategy though.
