Interesting story of Liechtenstein

The government consists of only five members.

Liechtenstein is like a small country that can fly easily, but it holds several world records. Its government is very small, consisting of five members elected by parliament and appointed by the king. The five members are the Prime Minister, two deputy prime ministers and two members in charge of other departments. Vaduz, the capital, consists of 1 5 villages, and each village has 1 () ~ 20 households. It is said that Liechtenstein and Switzerland have a border dispute at 1775. At that time, the kings of the two countries agreed to choose a Hercules, each with 1 79 kg of stones. After 2900 meters to the west, put down the stone where both of them can't walk, which is the border between the two countries.

The government, court and prison are in one building.

The government office building is located in the capital vaduz. This is an unremarkable three-story white building. Interestingly, the government building has the Prime Minister's Office upstairs and the court downstairs. The basement is a "prison" for temporarily holding prisoners.

There is a very interesting story. The government, the court and the prison are located in the same building ... One day, the Prime Minister was locked in his office by an unsuspecting staff member for working overtime. The deputy prime minister found that he seemed to be the only one in the building, so he knocked at the door and shouted in the office. After a while, a sleepy man opened the door for him with a key. When the vice premier asked him who he was, the man replied, "I am a prisoner in the basement of the building." "Why do you have a key?" The deputy prime minister was very surprised. "The doorman went home and asked me to keep the key for him." The prisoner replied. "Then why don't you run away?" The deputy prime minister asked. The prisoner replied, "Our country is so small, where can I go?" "You can go abroad." The deputy prime minister joked. The prisoner spread out his hands and said, "But is there a better country in the world than Liechtenstein?" "
