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

    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.
