Liechtenstein is bordered by Switzerland to the west and south and Austria<\/a> to the east and north. It is Europe’s fourth-smallest country, with an area of just over 160 square kilometers (62 square miles) and a population of 38,749. Divided into 11 municipalities, its capital is Vaduz, and its largest municipality is Schaan. It is also the smallest country to border two countries. Liechtenstein is one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world, along with Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n Economically, Liechtenstein has one of the highest gross domestic products per person in the world when adjusted for purchasing power parity. The country has a strong financial sector centered in Vaduz. It was once known as a billionaire tax haven, but is no longer on any blacklists of uncooperative tax haven countries. An Alpine country, Liechtenstein is mountainous, making it a winter sport destination.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein is a member of the United Nations<\/a>, the European Free Trade Association<\/a>, and the Council of Europe<\/a>. Although not a member of the European Union, it participates in both the Schengen Area<\/a> and the European Economic Area. It has a customs union and a monetary union with Switzerland.<\/p>\n The oldest traces of human existence in what is now Liechtenstein date back to the Middle Paleolithic<\/a> era. Neolithic farming settlements were initially founded in the valleys around 5300 BC.<\/p>\n The Hallstatt<\/a> and La T\u00e8ne<\/a> cultures flourished during the late Iron Age<\/a>, from around 450 BC\u2014possibly under some influence of both the Greek and Etruscan<\/a> civilizations.<\/p>\n One of the most important tribal groups in the Alpine region were the Helvetii<\/a>. In 58 BC, at the Battle of Bibracte<\/a>, Julius Caesar defeated the Alpine tribes, therefore bringing the region under close control of the Roman Republic<\/a>. By 15 BC, Tiberius<\/a>\u2014later the second Roman emperor\u2014with his brother, Drusus<\/a>, conquered the entirety of the Alpine area. Liechtenstein was then integrated into the Roman province of Raetia<\/a>. The area was maintained by the Roman military, who also maintained large legionary camps at Brigantium<\/a> (Austria), near Lake Constance<\/a>, and at Magia<\/a> (Swiss). A Roman road<\/a> which ran through the territory was also created and maintained by these groups. In c.260, Brigantium was destroyed by the Alemanni<\/a>, a Germanic people who settled in the area in around 450 AD.<\/p>\n In the Early Middle Ages<\/a>, the Alemanni settled the eastern Swiss plateau<\/a> by the 5th century and the valleys of the Alps by the end of the 8th century, with Liechtenstein located at the eastern edge of Alemannia<\/a>. In the 6th century, the entire region became part of the Frankish Empire<\/a> following Clovis I’s<\/a> victory over the Alemanni at Tolbiac<\/a> in 504 AD.<\/p>\n The area that later became Liechtenstein remained under Frankish hegemony (Merovingian<\/a> and Carolingian<\/a> dynasties), until the empire was divided by the Treaty of Verdun<\/a> in 843 AD, following the death of Charlemagne<\/a>. The territory of present-day Liechtenstein was under the possession of East Francia<\/a>. It would later be reunified with Middle Francia<\/a> under the Holy Roman Empire<\/a>, around 1000 AD. Until about 1100, the predominant language of the area was Romansch<\/a>, but thereafter German began to gain ground in the territory. In 1300, an Alemannic population\u2014the Walsers<\/a>, who originated in Valais<\/a>\u2014entered the region and settled. The mountain village of Triesenberg<\/a> still preserves features of Walser dialect<\/a> into the present century.<\/p>\n By 1200, dominions across the Alpine plateau were controlled by the Houses of Savoy<\/a>, Z\u00e4hringer<\/a>, Habsburg, and Kyburg<\/a>. Other regions were accorded the Imperial immediacy<\/a> that granted the empire direct control over the mountain passes. When the Kyburg dynasty fell in 1264, the Habsburgs under King Rudolph I<\/a> (Holy Roman Emperor in 1273) extended their territory to the eastern Alpine plateau that included the territory of Liechtenstein. This region was enfeoffed<\/a> to the Counts of Hohenems<\/a> until the sale to the Liechtenstein dynasty<\/a> in 1699.<\/p>\n In 1396 Vaduz (the southern region of Liechtenstein) gained imperial immediacy, i.e. it became subject to the Holy Roman Emperor alone.<\/p>\n The family, from which the principality takes its name, originally came from Liechtenstein Castle<\/a> in Lower Austria<\/a> which they had possessed from at least 1140 until the 13th century (and again from 1807 onwards). The Liechtensteins acquired land, predominantly in Moravia<\/a>, Lower Austria, Silesia<\/a>, and Styria<\/a>. As these territories were all held in feudal tenure from more senior feudal lords, particularly various branches of the Habsburgs, the Liechtenstein dynasty was unable to meet a primary requirement to qualify for a seat in the Imperial diet<\/a> (parliament), the Reichstag. Even though several Liechtenstein princes served several Habsburg rulers as close advisers, without any territory held directly from the Imperial throne, they held little power in the Holy Roman Empire.<\/p>\n For this reason, the family sought to acquire lands that would be classed as unmittelbar (not sellable) or held without any intermediate feudal tenure, directly from the Holy Roman Emperor. During the early 17th century Karl I of Liechtenstein<\/a> was made a F\u00fcrst (prince) by the Holy Roman Emperor Matthias<\/a> after siding with him in a political battle. Hans-Adam I<\/a> was allowed to purchase the minuscule Herrschaft (“Lordship”) of Schellenberg<\/a> and county of Vaduz (in 1699 and 1712 respectively) from the Hohenems. Tiny Schellenberg and Vaduz had exactly the political status required: no feudal lord other than their comital<\/a> sovereign and the suzerain<\/a> Emperor.<\/p>\n On 23 January 1719, after the lands had been purchased, Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor<\/a>, decreed that Vaduz and Schellenberg were united and elevated the newly formed territory to the dignity of F\u00fcrstentum (principality) with the name “Liechtenstein” in honor of “[his] true servant, Anton Florian<\/a> of Liechtenstein”. It was on this date that Liechtenstein became a sovereign member state of the Holy Roman Empire. It is a testament to the pure political expediency of the purchase that the Princes of Liechtenstein did not visit their new principality for almost 100 years.<\/p>\n By the early 19th century, as a result of the Napoleonic Wars<\/a> in Europe, the Holy Roman Empire came under the effective control of France, following the crushing defeat at Austerlitz<\/a> by Napoleon<\/a> in 1805. Emperor Francis II<\/a> abdicated, ending more than 960 years of feudal government. Napoleon reorganized much of the Empire into the Confederation of the Rhine<\/a>. This political restructuring had broad consequences for Liechtenstein: the historical imperial, legal, and political institutions had been dissolved. The state ceased to owe an obligation to any feudal lord beyond its borders.<\/p>\n Modern publications generally attribute Liechtenstein’s sovereignty to these events. Its prince ceased to owe an obligation to any suzerain. From 25 July 1806, when the Confederation of the Rhine was founded, the Prince of Liechtenstein was a member, in fact, a vassal, of its hegemon<\/a>, styled protector, the French Emperor Napoleon I, until the dissolution of the confederation on 19 October 1813.<\/p>\n Soon afterward, Liechtenstein joined the German Confederation<\/a> (20 June 1815 \u2013 24 August 1866), which was presided over by the Emperor of Austria<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 1818, Prince Johann I<\/a> granted the territory a limited constitution. In that same year Prince Aloys<\/a> became the first member of the House of Liechtenstein to set foot in the principality that bore their name. The next visit would not occur until 1842.<\/p>\n Developments during the 19th century included:<\/p>\n 1836: the first factory, for making ceramics, was opened. Until the end of World War I<\/a>, Liechtenstein was closely tied first to the Austrian Empire<\/a> and later to Austria-Hungary<\/a>; the ruling princes continued to derive much of their wealth from estates in the Habsburg territories, and spent much of their time at their two palaces in Vienna. The economic devastation caused by the war forced the country to conclude a customs and monetary union with its other neighbor, Switzerland.<\/p>\n At the time of the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was argued that Liechtenstein, as a fief of the Holy Roman Empire, was no longer bound to the emerging independent state of Austria<\/a>, since the latter did not consider itself the legal successor to the empire. This is partly contradicted by the Liechtenstein perception that the dethroned Austro-Hungarian Emperor still maintained an abstract heritage of the Holy Roman Empire.<\/p>\n In 1929, 75-year-old Prince Franz I<\/a> succeeded to the throne. He had just married Elisabeth von Gutmann<\/a>, a wealthy woman from Vienna whose father was a Jewish businessman from Moravia. Although Liechtenstein had no official Nazi party, a Nazi sympathy movement arose within its National Union party. Local Liechtenstein Nazis identified Elisabeth as their Jewish “problem”.<\/p>\n In March 1938, just after the annexation<\/a> of Austria by Nazi Germany, Franz named as regent his 31-year-old grandnephew and heir-presumptive, Prince Franz Joseph<\/a>. Franz died in July that year, and Franz Joseph succeeded to the throne. Franz Joseph II first moved to Liechtenstein in 1938, a few days after Austria’s annexation.<\/p>\n During World War II<\/a>, Liechtenstein remained officially neutral, looking to neighboring Switzerland for assistance and guidance, while family treasures from dynastic lands and possessions in Bohemia<\/a>, Moravia, and Silesia were taken to Liechtenstein for safekeeping. At the close of the conflict, Czechoslovakia<\/a> and Poland<\/a>, acting to seize what they considered German possessions, expropriated the entirety of the Liechtenstein dynasty’s properties in those three regions. The expropriations (subject to modern legal dispute at the International Court of Justice<\/a>) included over 1,600 km2 (618 sq mi) of agricultural and forest land (most notably the UNESCO listed Lednice\u2013Valtice Cultural Landscape<\/a>), and several family castles and palaces.<\/p>\n In 2005 it was revealed that Jewish laborers from the Strasshof concentration camp, provided by the SS<\/a>, had worked on estates in Austria owned by Liechtenstein’s Princely House.<\/p>\n Citizens of Liechtenstein were forbidden to enter Czechoslovakia during the Cold War. More recently the diplomatic conflict revolving around the controversial postwar Bene\u0161 decrees<\/a> resulted in Liechtenstein not sharing international relations with the Czech Republic<\/a> or Slovakia<\/a>. Diplomatic relations were established between Liechtenstein and the Czech Republic on 13 July 2009, and with Slovakia on 9 December 2009.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein was in dire financial straits following the end of the war in Europe. The Liechtenstein dynasty often resorted to selling family artistic treasures, including the portrait Ginevra de’ Benci<\/a> by Leonardo da Vinci<\/a>, which was purchased by the National Gallery of Art<\/a> of the United States in 1967 for US$5 million ($38 million in 2019 dollars), then a record price for a painting.<\/p>\n By the late 1970s, Liechtenstein used its low corporate tax rates to draw many companies and became one of the wealthiest countries in the world.<\/p>\n As of September 2008 the Prince of Liechtenstein is the world’s eighth wealthiest monarch, with an estimated wealth of US$3.5 billion. The country’s population enjoys one of the world’s highest standards of living.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein is situated in the Upper Rhine<\/a> valley of the European Alps<\/a> and is bordered to the east by the Austrian region of Vorarlberg<\/a> and to the south by the canton of Grisons<\/a> (Switzerland) and to the west by the canton of St. Gallen<\/a> (Switzerland). The entire western border of Liechtenstein is formed by the Rhine. Measured south to north the country is about 24 km (15 mi) long. Its highest point, the Grauspitz<\/a>, is 2,599 m (8,527 ft). Despite its Alpine location, prevailing southerly winds make the climate comparatively mild. In winter, the mountain slopes are well suited to winter sports.<\/p>\n New surveys using more accurate measurements of the country’s borders in 2006 have set its area at 160 km2 (62 sq mi), with borders of 77.9 km (48.4 mi). Liechtenstein’s borders are 1.9 km (1.2 mi) longer than previously thought.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein is one of the world’s two doubly landlocked countries \u2014 countries wholly surrounded by other landlocked countries (the other is Uzbekistan). Liechtenstein is the sixth-smallest independent nation in the world by area.<\/p>\n The principality of Liechtenstein is divided into 11 communes<\/a> called Gemeinden (singular Gemeinde). The Gemeinden mostly consist of only a single town or village. Five of them (Eschen<\/a>, Gamprin<\/a>, Mauren<\/a>, Ruggell<\/a>, and Schellenberg<\/a>) fall within the electoral district Unterland (the lower county), and the remainder (Balzers<\/a>, Planken<\/a>, Schaan<\/a>, Triesen<\/a>, Triesenberg<\/a>, and Vaduz<\/a>) within Oberland (the upper county).<\/p>\n Despite its limited natural resources, Liechtenstein is one of the few countries in the world with more registered companies than citizens; it has developed a prosperous, highly industrialized free-enterprise economy and boasts a financial service sector as well as a living standard that compares favorably with those of the urban areas of Liechtenstein’s much larger European neighbors.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein participates in a customs union<\/a> with Switzerland and employs the Swiss franc<\/a> as the national currency. The country imports about 85% of its energy. Liechtenstein has been a member of the European Economic Area<\/a> (an organization serving as a bridge between the European Free Trade Association (EFTA)<\/a> and the European Union<\/a>) since May 1995.<\/p>\n The government is working to harmonize its economic policies with those of an integrated Europe. In 2008, the unemployment rate stood at 1.5%. Liechtenstein has only one hospital, the Liechtensteinisches Landesspital in Vaduz. As of 2014 the CIA World Factbook estimated the gross domestic product (GDP) on a purchasing power parity basis to be $4.978 billion. As of 2009 the estimate per capita was $139,100, the highest listed for the world.<\/p>\n Industries include electronics, textiles, precision instruments, metal manufacturing, power tools, anchor bolts, calculators, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Its most recognizable international company and largest employer is Hilti<\/a>, a manufacturer of direct fastening systems and other high-end power tools. Many cultivated fields and small farms are found both in the Oberland and Unterland. Liechtenstein produces wheat, barley, corn, potatoes, dairy products, livestock, and wine.<\/p>\n There are about 250 km (155 miles) of paved roadway within Liechtenstein, with 90 km (56 miles) of marked bicycle paths.<\/p>\n A 9.5 km (5.9 mi) railway<\/a> connects Austria and Switzerland through Liechtenstein. The country’s railways are administered by the Austrian Federal Railways<\/a> as part of the route between Feldkirch<\/a>, Austria, and Buchs<\/a>, Switzerland. Liechtenstein is nominally within the Austrian Verkehrsverbund Vorarlberg tariff region.<\/p>\n There are four railway stations in Liechtenstein, namely Schaan-Vaduz<\/a>, Forst Hilti<\/a>, Nendeln<\/a> and Schaanwald<\/a>, served by an irregularly stopping train service between Feldkirch and Buchs provided by Austrian Federal Railways. While EuroCity<\/a> and other long-distance international trains also travel along the route, they do not normally call at the stations within the borders of Liechtenstein.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein Bus<\/a> is a subsidiary of the Swiss Postbus<\/a> system, but separately run, and connects to the Swiss bus network at Buchs and at Sargans<\/a>. Buses also run to the Austrian town of Feldkirch.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein has no airport. The nearest large airport is Zurich Airport<\/a> near Z\u00fcrich<\/a>, Switzerland (130 km or 80 miles by road). The nearest small airport is St. Gallen Airport<\/a> (50 km or 30 miles). Friedrichshafen Airport<\/a> also provides access to Liechtenstein, as it is 85 km (53 miles) away. Balzers Heliport<\/a> is available for chartered helicopter flights.<\/p>\n The flag of Liechtenstein is the national flag of the Principality of Liechtenstein. It consists of two horizontal blue and red bands charged with a gold crown in the canton. In use since 1764 and officially enshrined into the nation’s constitution in 1921, it has been the flag of the principality since that year. The crown was added to the flag in 1937 after the country found out at the Summer Olympics<\/a> held the previous year that their flag was identical to the civil flag of Haiti<\/a>.<\/p>\n Liechtenstein was formed in 1719 as a principality within the Holy Roman Empire, and gained complete independence in 1866. Within this period, the colors blue and red were selected to feature on the flag, instead of the gold and red on the coat of arms that would have customarily been employed instead. These new livery colors were first utilized by Prince Joseph Wenzel I<\/a> in 1764.<\/p>\n A new constitution for the Principality was formulated and proclaimed in October 1921. It made the blue and red banner the national flag by granting it “official status”. Fifteen years later, during the 1936 Summer Olympics, the country came to the realization that its flag was identical to the flag of Haiti, even though Haiti did not participate in the Olympics that year. Because of this finding, the government added the prince’s crown to the canton. This change served two purposes \u2013 to signify Liechtenstein’s position as a principality, and to distinguish its flag from Haiti’s. This modified design was adopted on June 24, 1937.<\/p>\n The colors and symbols of the flag carry cultural, political, and regional meanings. The blue represents the sky, while red alludes to the “evening fires” that are lit inside houses throughout the country. The crown \u2013 whose color is disputed \u2013 epitomizes the “unity of the people and their prince.” While The World Factbook<\/a> and Reuters<\/a> describe it as gold in color, other sources \u2013 such as Whitney Smith<\/a> in the Encyclop\u00e6dia Britannica<\/a> \u2013 describe it as yellow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The flag of Liechtenstein is the national flag of the Principality of Liechtenstein.
