Sorry. :( Thank you for your interest in Cloud Royale! But unfortunately we are not available outside of Sweden. If you believe this is an error, please contact us and we'll look into it.
It's a shame, because it does look like a good offer.
Unfortunately we don't have a English or German site yet. But we do plan to launch our English site later this year. I hope we'll see you then! :)

Then they'd have to look at other laws and regulations for cross-border businesses, and would likely have to pay higher premiums for their insurance against lawsuits for hosting "bad" content. Also they'd need a lawyer who understands all this, rather than your average small-time small-biz paper monkey.
EDIT: and of course, you have to support international payments through VISA or equivalent on your website, which is a pain in itself.
For the EU taxation there is no tax if the customer is outside EU, this can be resolved by CC address.
How are the payments going through now, is it not CC?
Yeah, what I'm saying is that their payment processor must then understand three different categories of customers (Swedish, EU, non-EU). You'd be surprised how many small operations struggle to just put in place a decent payment/accounting platform ("It's just a few sums, I'll code it in an afternoon, no need to buy $expensiveButComprehensiveAccountingSoftware !"...). And of course, currency conversion between Kroner and €, £, $...
You'd also be surprised by how many regulations we have in Europe covering money transfers -- internal credit cards, external credit cards (yes, often they're different things), debit cards, prepaid cards, all regulated by laws that vary State by State, and all handled by banks through byzantine merchant contracts. I'm not 100% familiar with the Swedish system, but I do see the difficulties in handling foreign payments.
I'm just trying to calculate how much it amounts to per month.
~ 22 USD per month
