Where is Liechtensten?
Liechtenstein is a country in Western Europe bordering Austria
and separated from Switzerland by the Rhine River. It is
one of the smallest independent sovereign states of Europe,
along with San Marino in Italy and Andorra in the Pyrenees
between France and Spain. The entire country is only about
16 miles long and 4 miles wide and is part of the European
Economic Area (EEA).Liechtenstein is divided into two traditionally
distinct regions, the Upper and the Lower Country. The Western
portion, the Lower Country, is the flat plain of the Rhine.
Most of Liechtenstein, however, is the mountainous Upper
Country, where the Alpine ranges run East - West.
The country maintains close relations with Switzerland,
sharing customs, currency and postal systems. This practice
has enabled Liechtenstein to share in Switzerland's prosperity
and, along with Liechtenstein's own industrial development,
gives its citizens one of the world's highest per capita
incomes.The population is 90% Roman Catholic and almost
the entire population lives in the communities near the
Rhine, with 20% of the total in Vaduz, the
capital and largest city.
Because of the employment opportunities in
Liechtenstein, about one third of the population is composed
of resident foreigners.Having a homogenous population, most
of the residents speak Allemanish, a local
dialect of German. English is also understood throughout
the country.
The principality of Liechtenstein is a stable,
constitutional, hereditary monarchy, with a modern economy
and unicameral parliament. In 1969 the principality celebrated
its 250th anniversary.
