Cyprus

Jump to: navigation, search

Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. At the moment, it's divided in two: the Republic of Cyprus to the south (member of the European Union) and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to the north (recognised by Turkey and almost nobody else). Additionally, a UN-controlled buffer zone separates the two, and the United Kingdom retains two bases on the island.

Cyprus is the current disaster in the European sovereign debt crisis; one has to wonder how it even got into the euro with an economy almost entirely consisting of Russian oligarchs who'd rather want to store their cash in a much warmer place than Switzerland.[1]

It is one of the most religious[2] countries in the EU. It is also deeply racist, sexist, and homophobic[3][4].
