Liechtenstein is one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world — surrounded entirely by landlocked countries — and has more registered companies than citizens. This tiny alpine principality of just 160 km² punches far above its weight economically, boasting one of the highest GDPs per capita on the planet, powered by precision manufacturing, financial services, and a famous dental technology industry.

Liechtenstein is famous for being one of the world's smallest countries, its status as a doubly landlocked nation, its outsized wealth, dental technology manufacturing (including false teeth), collectible postage stamps, and Hilti power tools. It also has more registered companies than residents.
Liechtenstein's wealth comes from low corporate tax rates that attracted thousands of businesses, a thriving financial services sector, precision manufacturing (especially dental prosthetics and tools), and historically profitable postage stamp sales. Its GDP per capita is approximately $180,000, among the highest in the world.
Liechtenstein has a prince, not a king — it is a constitutional monarchy headed by Prince Hans-Adam II. Unlike most European monarchs, he holds significant real political power, including the right to veto legislation and dismiss the government, powers confirmed by a 2003 referendum.
