Liechtenstein in a nutshell
The Principality of Liechtenstein (German: Fürstentum Liechtenstein) is a landlocked alpine microstate in Western Europe, bordered by Switzerland to the west and by Austria to the east.
Liechtenstein is the smallest German-speaking country in the world. Its population is around 35,000.
It is a constitutional monarchy divided into 11 municipalities. Its capital is Vaduz.
Much of Liechtenstein's terrain is mountainous, making it a winter sports destination. Many cultivated fields and small farms characterize its landscape both in the north (Unterland) and in the south (Oberland). The country has a strong financial sector and has been identified as a tax haven.
It is a member of the European Economic Area but not of the European Union.
