If we were boastful people, we of Sint Eustatius would boast of many distinct strengths and opportunities for the foreign investor. Statia is politically stable: our democratic government and peaceful, hardworking ways make for a safe and pleasant business environment. Geography is on our side here on Statia too: we are relatively close to the US mainland via the Sint Maarten-gateway and a forthcoming direct air connection with Puerto Rico. There is no real estate tax or property tax on Statia, and land is reasonably priced.
