About Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is a country in Western Europe, one of the 45 countries of Europe on GlobeQuizz. Its full official name is Principality of Liechtenstein. In Arabic, the name is written ليختنشتاين, and the capital فادوز. Its geographic centre lies in the Northern and Eastern hemispheres.

The capital of Liechtenstein is Vaduz. Vaduz lies at about 47° north and 10° east. The official language of Liechtenstein is German. Its currency is the Swiss Franc, with the symbol ⁨Fr.⁩ and the international code CHF. One other country, Switzerland, uses the same currency.

Liechtenstein covers about 160 square kilometres, which puts it 190th by area among the 195 countries on GlobeQuizz. It is landlocked, with no coastline, and has 2 neighbours: Austria and Switzerland. The largest of these neighbours by area is Austria. Other countries in Western Europe include France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Its flag is easy to confuse with the flag of Haiti, a classic trap in the Hard level of the flags quiz.
