>Before Europe gets lumped in as one country
The classic European trick: it's one strong union when you want to use counting stats or independence from America , but you can't lump in the duchy 3km away as the same when you want to pick and choose the metrics that make you look good.
For one thing, it’s a geographic location and not automatically the same as the EU
The duchy 3km away is impenetrable fortress where the trace between money coming in and going out magically disappears.
I don't think it's that different from pointing out that registering and/or operating a company in e.g. Delaware or Texas is a very different experience from doing so in New York.
