Cyprus is an island country located at the junction of Europe and Asia, in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It covers an area of ​​only 9,251 square kilometers. It was a former British colony and is now a member of the Commonwealth.

The entire country is located on Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean. In ancient Greek mythology, this island is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, also known as Venus. Therefore, this island is proudly called the "Island of Love".

Hearing Yang Jing mention the name "Cyprus", Gege asked in surprise: "Why did you choose this country? Speaking of tax avoidance, Monaco, Andorra, and Liechtenstein in continental Europe are all tax havens, but those countries are much better than Cyprus. Don't forget, although Cyprus is a developed country, there is still a dispute between the north and the south in the country, and those Turkish people have always controlled the northern part of the island."

As Gege said, although Cyprus is a developed country, and its level of development is even generally higher than the EU average, the country has not yet achieved true unification.

To be honest, the division of Cyprus is also a contest between the two neighboring countries of Cyprus.

Geographically speaking, Cyprus is closest to Türkiye in the north, but Greeks make up an absolute majority of the population in this country.

According to the July 2013 data, the total population of Cyprus is 1,155,400, of which 71.8% are Greek, 9.5% are Turkish, and 18.7% are foreigners. Historically, the majority of Cypriots are Greek.

But when Cyprus got rid of British colonial rule in 1960 and prepared to establish the Republic of Cyprus, the Greeks, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, took the initiative to propose forming a coalition government with the Turks, who had a smaller number of people.

This was originally a good thing, but the Turks, who have always been unruly, gradually became dissatisfied. Why can only you Greeks be president, while I Turks can only be vice president?

The Turks are full of fighting nature. This nation once established the most powerful Ottoman Empire in the world and dominated the whole world. After entering the new era, although Turkey gradually fell behind those developed countries, this country is very awesome. In the Syrian civil war some time ago, even the United States and NATO did not dare to fight against Russian fighter jets, but Turkey shot them down.

The people in this country are extremely bold. As long as there are benefits, they dare to take action.

The same is true for the Turks in Cyprus. Although they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of population, they just refuse to accept it! They just want to confront you! What's wrong with you having more Greeks? I dare to confront you head-on even if I have more people!

Therefore, Cyprus has been in a state of division since the armed conflict between the Turkish and Greek communities broke out in 1963. In particular, in 1974, when the Greek military group instigated a coup in Cyprus, Turkey sent troops to Cyprus in the name of "guarantor country", occupied 37% of the northern territory, and moved all Turkish residents to the north.

In February 1975, the Turkish Cypriots announced the establishment of the "Turkish Cyprus State" and elected Denktash as "President". On November 15, 1983, the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" was established. The Cypriot government firmly opposed the independence of the Turkish Cypriots, and so far, it has not been recognized by other countries except Turkey.

Since 1974, the Republic of Cyprus has been divided into north and south. The Turkish people, who account for less than 10% of the country's population, control about 37% of the land area in the north of the island...

To some extent, the Cyprus issue is a continuation of the strategic conflict between Greece and Turkey. Greece controls most of the islands in the Aegean Sea. It can be said that Greece has strangled the throat of major seaports in western Turkey such as Izmir. Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, close to Turkey's important oil port Ceyhan and the important town of Iskanderun on the Turkish-Syrian border. Turkey cannot tolerate Greece controlling Cyprus, thereby further suppressing itself strategically and forming an encirclement of Turkey, so it must intervene strongly in the Cyprus issue.

Turkey has been maintaining a garrison of about 35,000 troops in Cyprus. What the Turkish and Turkish people are most worried about is that after the unification of Cyprus, the Greeks will promote the Hellenization of the entire island and eventually push Cyprus to join Greece. Greece is a small country in the international community, but the Greeks are the strong party on the island. This power comparison is an important reason why the Cyprus issue is difficult to resolve.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, developed Cyprus is not a paradise, but an absolute powder keg. It may one day become the Balkan Peninsula of the past, and may even cause political turmoil in the Mediterranean region.

It is obviously not a good choice for Yang Jing to immigrate to Cyprus.

That's why Gege would have such doubts.

Of course, Yang Jing cannot say that he immigrated to Cyprus just to do an experiment. Once this experiment is successful, he, Yang Jing, can greatly reduce the restrictions of the space-time paradox on himself in the future.

But since the princess asked this, Yang Jing had to give an answer.

"Gege, among the developed or underdeveloped countries in the world, there are currently 15 countries where you can obtain the citizenship of that country through investment immigration. For example, in the United States, you can get a green card by investing $500,000, and I already have a US green card. But to obtain US citizenship, you need to make other efforts. Although I can easily apply for US citizenship, I don't want to immigrate to the United States. The US tax is too troublesome. Andorra, Monaco and Liechtenstein are very good. For example, in Andorra, you only need to invest $495,000 to obtain residency, and in Monaco, you need to invest $1.2 million to obtain residency. But to obtain the citizenship of these two countries, you need to live in those two countries for more than ten years. I don't have that much time to live there."
