Liechtenstein
One of the world's smallest and wealthiest countries, Liechtenstein is a doubly landlocked Alpine microstate between Switzerland and Austria. The capital Vaduz is dominated by a medieval castle perched on a hillside overlooking the Rhine Valley. Despite having fewer than 40,000 inhabitants, Liechtenstein is a major center for private banking and has more registered companies than citizens, making it a global financial hub.
Major cities: Vaduz, Schaan, Balzers, Triesen
