Liechtenstein is bordered byÂ SwitzerlandÂ to the west and south andÂ AustriaÂ to the east and north. It has an area of just over 160 square kilometres, theÂ fourth smallest in Europe, and an estimated population of 37,000. Divided intoÂ 11 municipalities, its capital isÂ VaduzÂ and its largest municipality isÂ Schaan.
ï»¿AnÂ alpine country, Liechtenstein is mainly mountainous, making it aÂ winter sportÂ destination. Many cultivated fields and small farms are found both in the southÂ and north. The country has a strongÂ financial sectorÂ centered in Vaduz.

ï»¿
Liechtenstein is a member of theÂ United Nations,Â European Free Trade Association, and theÂ Council of Europe, and while not being a member of the European Union, the country participates in both theÂ Schengen AreaÂ andÂ European Economic Area. It also has aÂ customs unionÂ and aÂ monetary unionÂ with Switzerland.

LiechtensteinÂ footballÂ teams play in the Swiss football leagues. TheÂ Liechtenstein Football CupÂ allows access for one Liechtenstein team each year to theÂ UEFA Europa League;Â FC Vaduz, a team playing in theÂ Swiss Super League, the first division in Swiss football, is the most successful team in the Cup, and scored their greatest success in theÂ European Cup Winners Cup in 1996Â when they drew with and defeated theÂ LatvianÂ teamÂ FC Universitate RigaÂ by 1â€“1 and 4â€“2, to go on to a lucrative fixture againstÂ Paris Saint-Germain F.C., which they lost 0â€“3 and 0â€“4.

ï»¿ï»¿TheÂ Liechtenstein National PoliceÂ is responsible for keeping order within the country. It consists of 87 field officers and 38 civilian staff, totaling 125 employees. All officers are equipped withÂ small arms. The country has one of the worlds lowestÂ crime rates. Liechtensteins prison holds few, if any, inmates, and those with sentences over two years are transferred to Austrian jurisdiction. The Liechtenstein National Police maintains a trilateral treaty with Austria and Switzerland that enables close cross-border cooperation among the police forces of the three countries.

FUN FACT
SWITZERLAND ONCE ACCIDENTALLY INVADED LIECHTENSTEIN
Switzerland unintentionally invaded Liechtenstein in March 2007, when about 170 Swiss infantry soldiers wandered across the unmarked border for more than a mile into Liechtenstein before realizing their mistake. (The Swiss soldiers were armed with assault rifles but no ammo, incidentally.) Liechtenstein, which has no army of its own, admits that it didnâ€™t notice the Swiss invasion and had to be informed that it had occurred (the country enforces no border control with Switzerland). Liechtenstein ultimately chose not to retaliate against its famously neutral neighbor.
