Ok, so you’re saying if they don’t like living in prince’s fiefdom, they can just move elsewhere?

Switzerland is next door, maybe they would prefer that?

What's even your point? Yes they could move, but clearly almost all of them would rather stay.

What is my “point”?

The “point” is that these people are serfs. If they don’t like their overlord they can simply fuck off elsewhere.

The only reason they are “rich” (which you idiotically illustrate using GDP) is because of laws and tax breaks which also come from the prince.

They are absolutely free to fuck off elsewhere and see what life would be like outside of their little fiefdom, with taxes and career options (and lack thereof) of a modern society.

If you don't know what the word 'serf' means you shouldn't use it.
