Anyway, I've been working on finding out the best way to get a European passport and will try to impart some of the knowledge I glean when I find out more about it.

Wikipedia is a good place to start for most countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nationality_law

Basically, you'll have to live somewhere for at least 3-5 years. In some countries it will take a lot longer if you aren't "married."

I feel for Americans with their global tax obligations.. It's usually not an issue if you're living in a country with a socialist tax system (double-tax treaties will cancel out the US tax). But.. in Eastern and Central Europe where the tax rates are much lower, you guys are at a real disadvantage.
