I knew NH was one of them, but I hadn’t lived there for years and looked them up to see if it had changed.

What’s funny about NH is they for decades have got by on a frugal government funded in part by ‘sin taxes’, rather than a state income or sales tax. They plant state-owned liquor stores along the MA border and sell booze for less than it costs in MA.

Though france is actually and accurate description.

Athens also had the first representative senate.

They also had exile elections. If citizens voted that a politician was in office too long, he was not only voted out of office, but exiled for ten years. (pretty bad when the lifespan was thirty years)
