Jersey (State)

Jersey is one of the Channel Islands located in the English Channel, near the coast of France. It is a British Crown Dependency, meaning it has its own government and legal system but relies on the British Crown for defense and international representation. Jersey has a robust economy, primarily driven by finance, tourism, and offshore banking. It is known for its picturesque landscapes, historical sites, and a subtropical climate. Despite its small size, Jersey operates with a high degree of autonomy and maintains its own laws, customs, and currency (the Jersey pound).
