Liechtenstein is a very small country in Europe that is made up of only 62 square miles. They manage to jam 37,000 people into this tiny location. Most of the population is in the capital of Liechtenstein which is Vaduz and a city called Schaan. About 65% of the population is Liechtensteiners that are Roman Catholic. I feel if I lived in this country, I would not like how cramped it is. I also learned that the warmest it usually gets in Liechtenstein is possibly 30 degrees which is way too cold for me. However, Liechtenstein is a gorgeous country with many pretty sceneries that bring tourists in.
Even though Liechtenstein is so small, the country has developed a great economy. Even though they have minimal natural resources, they export so many supplies to make $3.7 billion each year. Their imports are $2.2 annually. This makes the country succeed and not be in debt. The GDP of this country is $6.18 billion dollars and continues to rise. I personally think this country's economy is very stable.
Liechtenstein was founded in 1719. They agreed to be in the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866 until they decided to become an independent principality. The country stops their army in 1868. They then decided to become neutral and have been ever since. America and Liechtenstein are on good grounds because of the country breaking away for freedom. America has never had a problem with America so I feel like we will never have to get involved with Liechtenstein.
The head of government is now Adrian Hasler. However, the ruler is Prince Hans Adam. This makes the government system type, Hereditary Constitutional Monarchy.I think it would be very difficult to have more than one leaders because I feel like the leaders would fight.
To summarize, even though this county is so small, they are capable of succeeding. One very interesting fact I learned was that it has the highest per capita income in the world. I feel the country’s government system is working well, the economy is thriving, and the people are happy. Liechtenstein will continue to thrive.

I see that now. I must have thought those were sources. As far as pictures, you can't just copy and paste them in, you have to use the picture icon. See me if you need help.
Thanks!
Yes, I added photos. The computer wouldn't let me just copy and paste the photo so linked it at the bottom of my post?
