Are some countries better for some things than others?

Yes, if you are interested in pornographic books the Dutch and Swedes are pretty well unshockable whereas the UK and Irish authorities are very uptight about sex generally but then every country has it's weakness try setting up at a German Maildrop selling copies of Mein Kampf and bits of Nazi Regalia and they will attack with a vengeance but Austria well that's a different matter! So it is crucial to select the Maildrop carefully. In general Spain is a good choice due to the fact your average Spaniard tends to believe in letting other people get on with what they are doing, unless it's seriously illegal, in which case the Guardia Civil make the British Police look playful! Spain is only 750m from our office here in Gibraltar our experience suggests anything goes within reason if it doesn't affect them personally! The Maildrop price is good as well at just £159 ($220).Are some countries better for some things than others?
