The Principality of Liechtenstein, is
a tiny, doubly landlocked alpine country in Western
Europe, bordered by Switzerland to its west and by
Austria to its east. It is the last remnant of the
Holy Roman Empire. Mountainous, it is a winter
sports destination, although it is perhaps best
known as a tax haven. Despite this, it is not
heavily urbanized. Many cultivated fields and small
farms characterize its landscape both in the north (Unterland)
and in the south (Oberland). It is the smallest
German-speaking country in the world and the only
German-speaking nation not to share a common border
with Germany. |
