Arguments:
Agencies might be a limited resource of (26^3) possible existing agencies.

From my reading of rule 2461, it seems like a number is likely not possible

within an agency's Acronym, as numbers aren't words, but I wouldn't be
surprised if non-english words would allow us to get to more than
(26^3) agencies [More language bits!].


Ah, so that's what your pseudocode was for...

Parts of 2461:
...

a) A title, which must be exactly three words, not
   counting conjunctions, articles or prepositions.

...

  An Agency, once created, SHOULD be referred to by the acronym
  formed from its title with conjunctions, articles, and
  prepositions removed. The acronym of an agency must be unique
  and any attempt to create or amend an Agency such that two
  Agencies would have the same acronym is INEFFECTIVE.
