Answer 6

Many foreigners have done just that. In the early days, of course, they just came and took what they wanted ... houses, land, women ... then some foreigners came over in ships, shot an arrow in the eye of the current king and made laws so that you mostly have to buy houses. The rest, as they say, is history.

There is still a law in some parts of the country that if you can erect a permanent dwelling in one day on common land and have smoke coming out of the chimney by nightfall, you have a right to stay there and call it your own. I forget who made that law ... but it was probably some foreiner.
