| JERSEY |
GEOGRAPHY: Jersey is an island measuring 118.2 square kilometres (65,569
vergee / 46 sq. mi.), including reclaimed land and intertidal zone. It lies in the
English Channel, approximately 22.5 kilometres (12 mi) from the Cotentin Peninsula
in Normandy, France, and approximately 161 kiometres (100 mi) south of Great
Britain. It is the largest and southernmost of the Channel Islands.
POLITICS: Jersey's legislature is the States of Jersey. It includes 53 elected
members - 12 senators (elected for 6-year terms), 12 constables (heads of
parishes elected for 3-year terms), 29 deputies (elected for 3-year terms); the
Bailiff and the Deputy Bailiff (appointed to preside over the assembly and having a
casting vote in favour of the status quo when presiding); and 3 non-voting
members - the Dean of Jersey, the Attorney General, and the Solicitor General all
appointed by the Crown. Government departments are run by a cabinet of
ministers under a Chief Minister. The civil head of the Island is the Bailiff.
HISTORY: Trade, aided by neutrality between England and France, laid the
foundations of prosperity. The Jersey way of life involved agriculture, fishing,
shipbuilding, and production of woollen goods until 19th century improvements in
transport links brought tourism to the Island. Jersey was occupied by Nazi
Germany from 1 May 1940, and was held until 9 May 1945, the end of World War II.
