Two layers of electrified, barbed wire, with armed guards to keep a colony secure. Colonialism has never actually ended

    Sure, as i said, it's a city, not a resort. Comparing it with all those turist cities for white people in third world countries is disingenous.

      Ok but you get what Gibraltar is for? It's so they could shoot boats right? Same idea there, just a bit earlier. Gibraltar has a city too, I can put a city anywhere. Jamestown was a city.

              Gibraltar also being a tax haven is just completely irrelevant, it wasn't established so they could have a stupid tax haven, it was established to shoot boats and extract wealth from the Mediterranean, you keep saying it's a tax haven,

              and wait a minute

              the Spanish government has granted them 50% tax exemption, both for commercial companies and personal assets. In other words, if you manage a company in the Spanish enclaves, you’ll only pay half of the usual corporate tax and income tax.

              50% tax credit on CIT levied on income obtained in Ceuta and Melilla through companies established and carrying on activities in these enclaves during a full business cycle because of their specific geographic location.

              :cringe: they're even tax havens lmao

              Being a tax haven while pissing off the spanish is so much better than having a colony within pits of barbed wire and eletric fences in african soil conquered during the colonial period.
