As we all know, there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world at present, and some countries have a very large territorial area, such as Russia, Canada, China, the United States, etc., all of which exceed 9 million square kilometers, but there are also some countries with a very small area, like the Vatican, Monaco, etc., which are very familiar to everyone, not only the area is small and pitiful, but also the population is very small, and it is really a careless way to go out of the country.
This kind of country with a very small area, we generally call it a pocket country, you don't look at people small, but many pocket countries are very rich. The country I want to talk to you about today is a typical pocket country, the area of this country is only 160 square kilometers, how big is this? Put it this way, Singapore has an area of 728.6 square kilometers, which is only about a quarter of Singapore's area, which is Liechtenstein, a small European country.
Liechtenstein is located in the middle of Europe, between Switzerland and Austria, one of only two double landlocked countries in the world, and one is Uzbekistan, which is mostly mountainous and only about a third of the river valley, the location is generally quite good.
Liechtenstein is a very small country in Europe, still retains the monarchy, the Grand Duke of Liechtenstein is the most powerful person in the country, it is also a monarchy of the whole European sweatshirt. At present, the population of this country is only 38,000, it can be said that the population is very small, but don't look at the small number of people in the country, the country is also divided into 11 provinces, it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it is complete.
The capital of Liechtenstein is called Vaduz, it is the political, cultural and economic center of the whole country, and it is also the most populous city in this small country, with a population of 5,000 people, most of whom are members of the royal family and state workers and aristocratic groups, and the remaining ten provinces, with populations ranging from 5,000 to 2,000, but don't look at the small number of people, but people are also a province.
Although Liechtenstein is very small and there are very few people, the country is very rich, it is not too much to say that it is rich, and its per capita income is more than double that of the ordinary developed countries, so it is a highly developed capitalist country. Liechtenstein is most famous for its stamps, so the country is also known as the Kingdom of Stamps, stamps are also their characteristic industry and pillar industry, the production of stamps is very exquisite, popular with tourists.
Because of its small population and small area, the country does not have any army, its defense and diplomacy are represented by Switzerland, the country only has more than 100 policemen, responsible for the daily order of the country, and its own country does not have a currency, using the Swiss franc as its own currency. Liechtenstein is small, but it is picturesque, and every photo here can take a large picture of the effect, and it can be said that the natural scenery is amazing.
In addition to stamps,
Liechtenstein also has an important income, that is, the rental of the country, this project is now for Liechtenstein, the income is quite impressive, as long as you take out 70,000 US dollars, you can be a "king" in this country for a day, this "king" also has some privileges, such as tasting the head of state's red wine, nominally mobilizing the national police, you can also experience high-end accommodation and dinner, as well as enjoy specially designed tourism programs, watch fireworks and experience skiing and so on.
Although the price of the "rental country" project is amazing, but did not expect to be sought after by a lot of european rich people, now are rushing to book, sometimes often in advance booking, and once to book 2 nights, this is 140,000 US dollars, such a small country, in terms of income generation, but very thoughtful, out of a different way to make money, now this country is one of the richest countries in the whole of Europe.
This is Liechtenstein, a small but rich country. The image comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete.
