Andorra the same. A great place to score cheap ( as in nicely priced) upscale electronic equip btw.
No stats for Channel islands, but as far as I know you can only move there permanently via invitation. ( in saying that a substantial deposit in a local bank and purchasing a local property will get you waaaay up the queue ). Guernsey is nicer than Jersey btw, don't believe the hype.
Isle of Man
Seemingly formed when Setanta/Cu Chullainn threw a piece of the Mourne Mountains into the sea in a fit of rage ( or something similar, u know its true)
See German version ( plenty of Nazi cash there also by all accounts :eek:)

I wonder if they have one for peacocks. There was a lovely male peacock living wild near me for many years. It unfortunately died early this year. I always wondered what it's story was and how it got to be roaming rural Tipp.0 -

If you want to link random maps of railways against religions then why not also show the map of railway lines in the South against religions?
You will find that the highest density of Protestants of different denominations in the Republic is to be found in Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal. There is not a single passenger railway line running through any of these counties which is a disgrace but does it prove a religious bias? For more insight perhaps railway lines should be mapped against population densities or even against the constituencies of every Minister for Transport in the history of both states.0 -

context was in the link , DUP got a billion to support the UK government and look how much was going to be spent west of the Bann.forgottenhills wrote: »If you want to link random maps of railways against religions then why not also show the map of railway lines in the South against religions?
The lines crossing the border got severed or weren't repaired so they stopped at partition. Very few protestants down south near railways after that except in Dublin city. Wicklow too hilly and partition and buses took out the Donegal lines.
This is how it used to be

I think you can throw a mountain range in all areas in Ireland where railway lines were not built.
Finding a correlation between religion and railway lines is both appalling, reaching and preposterous. The real reason West Ulster don't get the love is because of the Sperrin mountains and the behemoth which is Lough Neagh.
They did block the M1 from going to Newry. London wanted it as it promoted better trade with the RoI, Stormont said no, so it went west to Dungannon and stopped when they ran out of money. Some of the roads around the border are still in appaling condition. It's petty tit for tat that I've seen in a few other places as well.
On the subject of borders, this map shows all international borders formed by rivers.

The red countries on this map are the only six nations on the planet who do not claim to be democracies; Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Brunei and our good friends in the Vatican City.
