That experience would be enough to form your well-worded opinion. It's too bad that you never got a chance to see the beaches, quaint little towns, and a host of other items not located within 50 ft of I95. I'm sure you probably think New Jersey is also ....Boring. A shame. Places (and states) are usually much more interesting once you get off the 6-8 lane highways. Aleks: Re.: Delaware is …Boring

But kudos to Lithuania for ratifying the constitution. One might also remember that the state of Delaware unofficial motto: “Fuckin’ Boring.”

Therefore, Delaware is the "home state" of choice for many American corporations, who usually have a small office there to represent their presence. Smaller companies can take advantage of this by buying statutory representation through various corporate agents. The state actually earns proportionally speaking a nice amount of income just from the thousands of minor fees, - to the irritation of other states with corporate taxes. But federal law guarantees Delaware that right, prompting a continuing scramble amongst states to provide incentives to corporations. Given that the Old European members of the EU are irritated at the lower levels of corporate taxation in the New European, Baltic members, it seems quite apt that Lithuania be compared to Delaware. Hopefully Lithuania will be permitted to engage in the kind of tax competition Delaware engages in. As I see it, internal tax competition will serve as one sort of a litmus test to whether Europe will ever be able to truly compete in the world.

The license plate does say "The First State", but I'll guarantee you most out-of-staters have not a clue what the "First" refers to. So, congrats to Lithuania for your First (and probably Last time people remember you by).
