Which small European country without an airport is among the richest in the

Nestled between Switzerland and Austria is one of Europe's smallest and most unique countries, Liechtenstein. Despite its small size and lack of an international airport or even an indigenous language, this principality has become one of the wealthiest and safest countries in the world.

Liechtenstein uses the Swiss franc as its official currency and German as its administrative and everyday language. Although it has no airport, the country remains easily accessible via Switzerland and Austria, attracting tourists and visitors throughout the year.

The country's economy is strong and diversified, based mainly on the financial sector, the high-tech industry, and industrial production. According to economic data, Liechtenstein ranks among the countries with the highest per capita income in Europe and the world, surpassing many large European countries.

One of the most striking features of this country is its extremely low crime rate. With a population of around 40,000 and only a very small number of people in prison, security is considered a daily part of life. Many residents even leave their doors open at night, due to the high level of social trust.

Liechtenstein is also a constitutional principality, operating as a limited monarchy with a small parliament and an efficient administration. The simple governing structure has helped maintain stability and sustainable economic development.

Another unusual feature is the fact that the country has more jobs than inhabitants, thanks to workers who come every day from neighboring countries such as Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Unemployment remains very low, while labor market participation is among the highest in Europe.

With a rare combination of simplicity, security and economic development, Liechtenstein is often considered a "modern utopia" in the heart of Europe, showing that size is not always an indicator of a country's power or well-being. /CNA
