Ever Wanted to Know More About Liechtenstein?

August 12, 2009

By Clark Gascoigne

Clark Gascoigne is the Communications Director at Global Financial Integrity in Washington, DC.

The Times (of London) has published a nifty factsheet on the country (cough, tax haven, cough, secrecy jurisdiction) of Liechtenstein.  I bet you didn’t know that it was 1 of only 2 doubly landlocked countries in the world (meaning that its surrounded entirely by other landlocked countries).  The only other country to share this distinction is Uzbekistan (whose embassy is, interestingly enough, located right next door to our office).  Check out the rest of the facts here
