    I know that you love to make fun of Europeans, gwayneco, but I have met a couple of people from Lichtenstein and they are incredibly nice. From everything I understand about it, it would be a very nice place to live, and the weather is much nicer than Houston in the summer.

    BTW, contrary to what the article implies they are very heavily linked with Switzerland, and anybody who attacks Lichtenstein is at war with Switzerland. Admiral Canaris, head of the Abwehr (or military intelegence) did a disinformation job on Hitler and convinced him they couldn't defeat Switzerland which is why he never attacked Switzerland or Lichtenstein.

    Before WWI, they were linked in the same way to Austria-Hungary, but didn't join in with the Hapsburgs in that war.
