    What a weird way to run things. I renounced my Japanese citizenship because the Japanese Foreign Ministry was harrassing my mum about it, and we did have to go to the consulate and fill out a frankly miniscule amount of paperwork and pay no money.

      US citizens are required to pay taxes to the US even if they don't live in the country anymore. That's why they do it like this.
