Now enough of the jokes so when did Luxemborg become a country and how were they able to. Anyone got good links for the History of Luxemborg


Wait I see the answer is in the name LuxemBORG. It is a country who's inhabitabants are entirely cyborgs secretly disguised as humans, anylizing human life and are figuring out how to assimalate the entire population of the earth. When the data is complete they will radio fleet 6 for the (expansion pack) Cyborg Invasion.

Here is a link giving some brief info about it

IIRC nowadays its actually a tax-free country, and so has more registered companies than citizens!

If we are on about weird tax haven places, check out Sark. Its an off shore i8sland to an off shore island, now that has to be unique surely?

Its completely bonkers, eg:


Clameur de Haro: Under Norman custom a person can obtain immediate cessation of any action he considers to be an infringement of his rights. At the scene he must, in front of witnesses, recite the Lord's prayer in French and cry out "Haro, Haro, Haro! A mon aide mon Prince, on me fait tort!" The Clameur must be registered at the Greffe Office, and a deposit (£7.50) made. All actions must cease until the matter is heard by the Court and if, after investigation, the complaint is disallowed, the deposit is forfeited, and the complainant can be liable to a claim for damages

I loved the pigeons bit too.

BTW the United Kingdom is NOT generally like this, despite what Hollywood seems to think.

I can see sark from my bedroom window. it is a weird little island. you can beat your wife legally in sark if you book it, use a stick no wider than your little finger and dont draw blood. you gan also drink legally from the age of 16. thats 5 years before you lot in the USA!!!

[English assassin]

Heh I forgot you were from the Channel Islands.

I didn't know that. How do you book it? Do they have a little diary? Is there a wife beating booking clerk I wonder?

BTW Do you actually have to LIVE in Sark or could you just be visiting? ~:joker:

Could be a great Trivia question: where in Europe is it illegal to own a pigeon but legal to beat your wife?

Actually, what about Brecqhou? Thats sort of an off shore island to the off shore island to the off shore islands, right?

[King Edward]

Um Kinda, Brecqhou is just west of sark (towards Guernsey) it was uninhabited, but the Barclay brothers Purchased it and built a massive castle/mansion on it.

As far as the whole wife beating thing goes, a mate of mine is from sark so i'll ask him the procedure and let you know! ~:joker:

I'll post a map a bit later when i have some more time.

The Tax laws are quite good here, I dont know the full in's and outs but there is no corporation tax, and Income tax is a flat 20% AFTER deduction of any exemptions, for exampe me being a single person living away from home get £7500 i can earn tax free and anything after that is only taxed at 20% even if i was earning millions. Its quite cool!! :greedy: also no inheritance tax as well.

*Is so shocked at the Isle of sark's laws decides to launch cruise missile, that I found in a bits and bobs market in oxford.
Looks at the launch panel and notes the made in America symbol.
Jabs the fire button
Cruise missile hits an un-obtrusive seagul flying just north of scotland.
Is checking course when the blue screen of death comes up.
Curses loudly and rude enough to make a man-u shirt get brighter.
Finaly gets system working and finds that the damn machine was measuring in miles not km.
Goes to have a heart to heart with Bill Gates about his software inside the missile.
