5 Bizarre Ways Small Countries Make Money

St. Kitts and Nevis sell citizenship

When St Kitts and Nevis was low on money, the country devised a plan: sell citizenships, but with a twist. Unlike most citizenships, you don't need to move there to obtain one. The Caribbean country requires an investment of between $250,000 (£190k) and $400,000 (£304k) in return for citizenship. A St Kitts and Nevis passport gives you visa-free travel to dozens of countries, making this scheme a huge money-spinner.
