which means its not part of the UK but a self-governing possession of The
Crown. Jersey has its own democratically elected parliament, government, tax
system, and laws. However, the island does have a close historic relationship
with France and the UK and relies on the UK for defence and international
relations. It is also part of the Common Travel Area (CTA) which allows British
citizens to move freely between the UK, Republic of Ireland, and the Channel
Islands without a passport.
