The municipal bond issued by the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and the bond issued by Nationwide Insurance Company are both exempt securities under the Uniform Securities Act. Bonds issued by Canadian government entities at both the national and the municipal level and bonds issued by domestic entities in highly regulated industries, as is the case with insurance companies, are exempt. The bond issued by a county in Ireland is not exempt; with the single exception of Canada, only bonds issued by national governments with which the U.S. has diplomatic relations are exempt.
