Cyprus: Seriously considering moving to Cyprus for an extended time:
Just a little notice in advance of your move: even in an over-all corrupt world, Cyprus stands out as exceptionally corrupt!
The Russian mafia (Russians of course disclaim them,saying they are from other Black Sea hell-holes) securely controls the backstreets,particularly of places like Paphos and Limmasol, so the racketeering in the high places trickles down to street level in the form of violent casual brutality.
At the "top" end-----there really is no governance by the theoretical government; everything is in the hands of the gangsters: planning,property,commerce,you name it.
This is not simply a case of an administration suffering from the inroads of corruption, but a totally corrupt state that could not even begin to see a way out. Good luck!
