Internet and e-commerce industry in Liechtenstein

The unique country Liechtenstein represents one of the most amazing states across the whole world, that’s being a doubly landlocked alpine microstate in Western Europe occupies an area of just 61.7 square miles (about 160 km²) and has an estimated population of only 35,000. Liechtenstein is also the smallest German-speaking country in the world, and the only alpine country to lie entirely within the Alps. It is also the only German-speaking country not to share a common frontier with Germany. The country has a strong financial sector located in the capital, Vaduz, and has been identified as an offshore and tax haven. Liechtenstein, moreover, is the richest country in the world on a per-capita basis. Though the country is a member of the European Free Trade Association, it’s still not a member of the European Union.
