The Jewel of the Alps
Liechtenstein is a small, landlocked country located in Central Europe, between Switzerland and Austria. It is known for its beautiful mountain landscapes, low taxes, and strong financial sector. Liechtenstein has been ruled by the same family, the House of Liechtenstein, since the 18th century. The country was officially established in 1719 when it became a sovereign principality within the Holy Roman Empire. Liechtenstein remained neutral during both World Wars and has since developed into a prosperous and stable nation. Today, it is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system. Liechtenstein is famous for its high standard of living and well-preserved medieval castles. Background - Canva
