Jersey
British island located north of France in the English Channel. Belongs to the Channel Islands together with Guernsey, Herm, Sark and Alderney. It has a population of about 90.000 including immigrants from Madeira/Portugal and some Polish.
Due to its high independance from the UK Jersey has its own laws and taxation, and it is an off-shore finance center. Apart from finance, tourism contributes to the island's wealth.
Besides, Jersey has great beaches, lovely forests, historic castles and of course great shopping (no VAT!) and an amazing nightlife!!

Jersey
A beautiful island in the English Channel, not a state of the USA. The commander of the British forces during the last attempted invasion of Jersey by the French was given an area of land in America as gift for winning the 'Battle of Jersey'. He named this land 'New Jersey' in honour of the island he fought to protect. Well known for it's occupation during WW2 by the german forces, and famous for it's own breed of cattle and potatoes.
