What is ExpatlandTM?
‘Expatland’™ is the name of a virtual country that author and international tax advisor John Marcarian has given to where expatriates live and work. Expats in Expatland™ comprise a diverse range of professionals and entrepreneurs in whatever roles they discover for themselves around the globe.
Economically and culturally diverse, ExpatlandTM is like no other place.
If Expatland™ were a ‘single’ country, it would have a population of more than 230 million people and would be the fifth largest country in the world.
