Even if you can't blame the USA on the French, you CAN blame the Quebecois on the French, and that's just as bad. :V

My country should just have never traded New Amsterdam (New York's original name, NY was founded by the Dutch)  for Surinam. It's the Dutch' fault.

That's actually been a thing for at least a month or two now.

Heh, the Swiss canton of Zug has asked it's residents to pay their taxes as late as possible.
Current negative rates on bank savings actually make it unprofitable to have cash reserves for the government. They think this measure can save the canton 2.5 million euros.

They are now brainstorming if it is possible to fine people who pay their taxes early.

It's not the only country though to take measures to keep their national reserve as low as possible. Some of the Scandinavian countries are also trying to keep their cash reserves low, but Switzerland has the lowest negative rate, with the -0.75% rate set by the Swiss bank early 2015, to forcibly devaluate the Swiss franc. They don't want the franc to be worth much more than the euro, to prevent their companies from being unable to compete on the global market.
Up until recently, the banks had not dared to charge the negative rates for their really big customers, but now they no longer have a choice. The canton of Zug is one of those big customers now affected.

Private savings of the citizens of Switzerland are not affected yet by the negative rates, to prevent people from all paying their taxes early, against which there are no measures in place yet.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

No, only private Swiss bank accounts owned by Swiss citizens.

I'm also not sure if I can regard this as quite humourous (even though my cynical half is sniggering). If this becomes a trend in the western world, we'll arrive at a situation where every state is completely at the mercy of investors (even moreso than they already are), since they won't even have any reserves anymore to deal with whatever situation.
