And Eritrea are the only countries in the world that tax worldwide income.

It is why there are shoot to kill orders for Eritrean border guards if they see any of the thousands of Eritreans fleeing Eritrea every month.

The biggest recently is Syria, followed by Eritrea (2014).

The famines occurred in a region called Eritrea that was undergoing a civil war, and were supported by the government as a way of weakening the resistance.

Italians I had spoken to had me believing I should be bracing myself for North Eritrea in terms of infrastructure, police corruption, and so on...

I think it's also the only other country in the world besides Eritrea that still forces citizens to pay tax based on citizenship rather than residence.

In fact, it is mentioned in the news much more than Darfur, Congo, Eritrea or any other African country where people are being slaughtered and plagued daily without any western intervention.

But "my adventures in East Palo Alto" just isn't as exciting on a law school application, or a date, as "tales of Eritrea."

The US is the only country (other than Eritrea) that does this taxing of people who don't earn in the US.

The article is wrong in that: >We are the only country (except, arguably, Eritrea) that taxes all of its citizens on worldwide income Nope.

This is true for citizens of all countries besides the US and Eritrea, and the latter probably does not have the means to enforce it.
