It’s not because they banned us citizens. It’s because the us government is one of the few ones that wants to tax stuff that their citizens earned in other countries, so banks and similar they need to report wealth and income to the government

Looks like you’re right, thanks for the link! Even though most of these countries only tax non-resident citizens if specific conditions aren’t met, there still appear to be more than two that do it more or less unconditionally.
