Country List World Factbook Home The World Factbook Liechtenstein Introduction Liechtenstein Background: The Principality of Liechtenstein was established within the Holy Roman Empire in 1719; it became a sovereign state in 1806. Until the end of World War I, it was closely tied to Austria, but the economic devastation caused by that conflict forced Liechtenstein to enter into a customs and monetary union with Switzerland. Since World War II (in which Liechtenstein remained neutral), the country's low taxes have spurred outstanding economic growth. Shortcomings in banking regulatory oversight have resulted in concerns about the use of the financial institutions for money laundering. Liechtenstein has, however, implemented new anti-money-laundering legislation and recently concluded a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the US.

Around 75,000 companies have their nominal, 'letter box' offices in Liechtenstein, where business tax rates are very favourable. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA This status came under the spotlight when two international reports criticised Liechtenstein for lax financial controls. The reports said that the Liechtenstein banking system enabled gangs from Russia, Italy and Colombia to launder money from their criminal activities. Stung by the criticism, Liechtenstein reformed its laws. Customers opening bank accounts may now no longer remain anonymous. The country has been involved in a lengthy political wrangle over the role and power of the hereditary monarchy. After a campaign which was at times bitterly divisive the people voted in March 2003 in a constitutional referendum to give Prince Hans-Adam sweeping new political powers. The outcome was decisive with just over 64% in favour of the changes.

They are the most chilled-out, laid-back, carefree cattle in the world, and happy cows produce better milk. What is it that keeps the cash cows calm? Hemp, which is related to cannabis. And that's why Liechtenstein has banned its use. This has in turn enraged the country's dairy farmers, who say that the hemp relaxes those jangly bovine nerves. Hemp farmers are less then mellow about the new law. "Hemp is good for cows because it is serves as a very small tranquiliser," says hemp farmer Jean-Pierre Egger. "Many of the cows are stressed nowadays. If they eat hemp, they calm down. Now, a milk cow which is calm produces better milk. That is a fact." No high In neighbouring Switzerland, hemp is grown legally for industrial purposes but farmers are also banned from feeding it to cattle.
