“The right to self-determination is a personal convention.” –Prince Hans-Adams II.
The Principality of Liechtenstein is a small landlocked nation in the center of Europe bordered by Switzerland and Austria. The nation is ruled by a Constitutional monarchy lead by Prince Hans-Adam II with a unitary parliamentary system chaired by Adrian Hasler. It is known as a tax haven much like other micronations in Europe.
Fast Facts.
GDP: $3.2 billion
Debt: 0
Population: 37,624
Capital: Vaduz
Military: No standing army
Religion: Roman Catholic
What I hope to accomplish (goals)/test:
In 2009 in Hans-Adam II Manifesto “The State in the Third Millennium” he considers Liechtenstein to be the most Libertarian nation in the world. I would like to see the long term ramifications of a modern Libertarian Nation.
The Referendum of 2003 limited the Powers of the monarchy greatly. If another Referendum of that stature came to pass it could eliminate the monarchy together thus creating a power struggle for the nation.
Any issues with major European nations could cause more money to be transferred to the nation, thus making it the wealthiest nation in Europe.
Liechtenstein is the only nation with legal secession written in its Constitution. This nation could easily break apart if enough people vote for secession.
Note: This is my first ModernPowers so I picked a smaller less important nation which does not hold the same power as a larger nation. I'll try to follow the rules to the best of my abilities. Thank you for your time and I wish you all luck in this game.
