I heard this on the news, but can't find a link.

The CIA released a list of the world's richest countries.

Luxumborg topped the list, USA second, Bermuda third.

Sorry Canada...you were 10th.  ;)

I think the information is about as reliable as reports of WMDs in Iraq though.  I'd like to see where Dubai ranked, as well as Lichtenstein and a few others.

How did Monaco fit in?  Whenever I think of conspicuous consumption and big-ticket boys toys, I think "Monaco".

Dunno man...I can't find a link, but you are right Monaco should be up there too.

Curv - it's Luxembourg... I went there with my ex-wife in 1993. She came from Lux ancestry. It was a nice enough place, but it never occurred to me that it was particularly affluent.

Common misconception.  You've been listening to Kerry too much.
