Local Customs: Principality

Liechtenstein is a principality and being a principality means that you have a Prince. And unlike some other figurehead Princes that don't seem to have much more of a function than creating a little gossip now and then for the tabloids, this Prince demanded, and received, a good deal of power when in 2003 he threatened to pack up his castle and move to Austria.

Americans, who never really take to having a monarch run their country, would have gleefully shown up at the castle and helped the Prince pack his crowns and sceptres but a majority of the Liechentensteiners voted to give him more power and so he stayed and Liechtenstein still has a Prince to promote tourism along with their side businesses of selling postage stamps and passport stamps.

VeronicaG Wed Apr 16, 2008 21:57 UTC How many people can say they visited Liechtenstein--you can, Kristi!	SWFC_Fan Tue Mar 18, 2008 19:03 UTC I need to put aside a weekend, fly to Zurich and then spend a couple of hours crossing this little country off my list! :-) You'll be fine in Norway without having to resort to fast food places...prices are a bit cheaper than Iceland! :-)
Nemorino Sun Mar 16, 2008 00:10 UTC Thanks for mentioning the fact that Liechtenstein is a tax haven. One of the big scandals here in Germany in recent weeks has to do with very prominent (and supposedly clean-nosed) rich Germans using Liechtensteinian "foundations" for tax evasion.	starship Fri Mar 14, 2008 13:44 UTC Nice page! I also lament the fact that many countries no longer stamp passports -- it not only documents that you entered that country but it's kind of a souvenir in a way! At least US immigration is vigilant of who enters/leaves the country!
