Liechtenstein macht 79


I note this evening that we have had a visitor from our 79th country: Liechtenstein. Welcome to this site.

I may well have lured you here with postings on Prince Hans-Adam II or his second son, Prince Max. No matter how you came here, I am glad of the visit. Feel free to share with us here. We'd love to learn more of your principality [official site here].

The quick intro to the principality is here, with German supertitles providing information.


I think the Yanks and Brits alike should get a kick out of the national anthem: "Oben an jungen Rhein":


A video of stills from the wedding of Prince Max and Princess Angela is here.

Here is a 15-second vid of Prince Alois giving an interview in the mid-distance and at the very last moment his father, Prince Hans Adam II shows up on the right.

And for some timely humor - Barack Obama and Al Walser from Liechtenstein:

The wife of the Crown Prince of Leichtenstein is, to a loyal Jacobite, the second in line to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland. Just FYI.
