So THATS why the Grand Nagus lives in Oregon! I knew there had to be a reason!
Actually when my family moved to the United States from Europe back in the early 1980's we chose Portland, Oregon because that's where our friends moved to. Thank goodness they didn't move to Canada or some place like that
It's kinda cool having zero sales tax, I've saved thousands of dollars because of that.
