Oh man, even all the small European ones are fucked. Andorra, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco. Hilarious!

Wait, Luxembourg is not on this list? Wow.

[-] Jomn@jlai.lu 43 points 7 months ago

I'm more surprised with the three baltic states

[-] magikmw@lemm.ee 31 points 7 months ago

Sony still salty about USSR dissolution

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 12 points 7 months ago

Luxembourg is very wealthy.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 13 points 7 months ago

Also an EU member, so all EU regulations apply within tjeir borders.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 7 months ago

Estonia is also EU member but listed in the screenshot.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 15 points 7 months ago

So are Latvia and Lithuania, so i guess fuck the Baltics

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 7 months ago

So is Monaco but it got screwed

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Why is Andorra always left out?

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Why does Andorra even exist? The Spaniards or Français should fight another dozen wars over those mountains

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

It exists so that people can buy cheap booze. Or at least that's wha it used to be for.

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

It exists for tax evasion purposes.

[-] Miaou@jlai.lu 1 points 7 months ago

It's used for ecosystem and biodiversity preservation. Europe forced the poor rich people to hide in places such as Andorra, Monaco, Lichtenstein, and other repressed micro states. But at least there they are free to practice their own tax optimisation strategy, without intervention from evil communist states.

[-] erwan@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

Luxembourg is small but it's not a microstate like the other you listed. It's not limited to a single city.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

That is true.
