Because France benefits from the existence of Monaco as a separate entity.


I suspect its more a case of certain wealthy folks who have much influence with the govt of France who benefit. Something to do with banking confidentiality, maybe some tax angles. I suspect you know a lot more about this than me.

But tell me how does France benefit? Tourism from folks coming to Monaco to gamble - but France could allow casinos themselves by passing a law.

I pity anyone who doesn't live in the US
Ho ho ho!
Figured you'd get a kick out of that.
