I live in Detroit, and I've been across the river to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. I've traveled further in my own country than I have in other countries.

liberalNoncepedia wrote:The islands are outside European Union customs territory, though politically within the EU. The ISO 3166-1 α-2 code IC is reserved for representing them in customs affairs. Goods subject to Spanish customs and excise duties and Value Added Tax (VAT), such as tobacco or electronic goods, are therefore significantly cheaper in the Canaries. Spanish magazines usually have a similar or higher price than in the peninsula since VAT is substituted with air transport costs. The islands' country calling code is (+34) and the Internet country code is the same as Spain's (.es). The currency is the euro.

Seems kind of odd that they are governed by the EU, but do not trade within the EU...
