Europe > Liechtenstein

The Principality of Liechtenstein (IPA: [ˈlɪktənˌstaɪn] (German: Fürstentum Liechtenstein, (IPA: [ˈfyrstnˌtuːm ˈliːɕtnʃtajn]) is a tiny, doubly landlocked alpine country in Western Europe, bordered by Switzerland to its west and by Austria to its east. Mountainous, it is a winter sports resort, although it is perhaps best known as a tax haven. Despite this, it is not heavily urbanized (in the way that the Principality of Monaco and Gibraltar are). Many cultivated fields and small farms characterize its landscape both in the north (Unterland) and in the south (Oberland). Not only is it the smallest German-speaking country in the world, but also the only European country whose bordering countries are also landlocked.
