It's one of the Channel Islands, quite well to do. I bet there's a lot of American cash in the banks over there.

I'm not aware of any NJ specific slang term for crazy. Of course, there is some cultural divide and unique slang between North Jersey and South Jersey, but I don't recall any term for crazy.

Nutzo, Whack, Elevator doesn't go to the top floor, a few fries short of a happy mean, bananas, Skitz, and many more that I could come up with. Jersey and elsewhere, of course.
