Just 1.2 percent of married women said they'd had more than one partner in the last year. Only Swiss women were a tiny bit more faithful, while women in France, Norway, the U.K. and the U.S. cheated more. ______________________________________________________ 1 Liechtenstein $ 118,000 2007 est. _____________________________________________ 18 Switzerland $ 40,900 2008 est. _____________________________________________ 21 Austria $ 39,600 2008 est. _____________________________________________ 30 United Kingdom $ 37,400 2008 est. _____________________________________________ 40 France $ 32,700 2008 est. _____________________________________________

The slowing real estate market has hurt the job market in construction and housing, though employment remains relatively tight. The unemployment rate climbed to 3.4% in November 2008 compared to 2.6% in November 2007. The apartment vacancy rate jumped to 6.8% in the fourth quarter last year from 3.1% in the same period in 2007. Landlords on average are giving 2.2-week rent concessions. _________________________________ Only Swiss women ______ Apparently it hasn't. Among Australians who said they had been in a “regular” sexual relationship for at least a year, just 4.9 percent of men and 2.9 percent of women said they'd strayed in the last year. That's still less than the married Britons who've cheated, and far below the Chinese, Brazilians and Ugandans. Australian men who earned between $20,000 and $52,000, had just a secondary education or lived in capital cities were the most likely to have cheated. Poor women were less faithful than rich ones. People of both sexes who were in their late teens or twenties were the most promiscuous (the survey measured people ages 16 to 59). ________

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchies_in_Europe There are twelve monarchies in Europe today; ten of these are states whose head of state (a monarch) inherits his or her office, and usually keeps it for life or until they abdicate. The head of state in the State of the Vatican City, the pope, is elected at the papal conclave. The joint heads of state of Andorra are the elected President of France and the appointed Bishop of Urgell. At the dawn of the 20th century, France, Switzerland and San Marino were the only European nations to have a republican form of government. The ascent of republicanism to the political mainstream only started at the beginning of the 20th century; as at the beginning of the 21st century, most of the states in the world, and in Europe, are republics (have a directly or indirectly elected head of state). Europe's monarchies are: * the Flag of Andorra Principality of Andorra * the Flag of Belgium Kingdom of Belgium * the Flag of Denmark Kingdom of Denmark * the Flag of Liechtenstein Principality of Liechtenstein * the Flag of Luxembourg Grand Duchy of Luxembourg * the Flag of Monaco Principality of Monaco * the Flag of the Netherlands Kingdom of the Netherlands * the Flag of Norway Kingdom of Norway * the Flag of Spain Kingdom of Spain * the Flag of Sweden Kingdom of Sweden * the Flag of the United Kingdom United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland * the Flag of the Vatican City State of the Vatican City ___________
