New Delhi: In today’s fast-paced world of deadlines, meetings, business trips, and constant daily hustle, imagine living in a country with no airport of its own, no official national language, no independent currency, and yet, its people are wealthy and live in complete peace, without the need to struggle for a living. Does it sound like a dream? But yes, such a country does exist. Its name is Liechtenstein. This tiny European nation is hidden in the Alpine mountains between Switzerland and Austria.

A video on this offbeat European wonderland has now gone viral on Instagram. The caption provided a glimpse of Liechtenstein, highlighting its medieval castles and the snow-covered Alps with a population of approximately 30,000 people. It read, “Ever heard of Liechtenstein? Most people have not. But this tiny nation tucked between Switzerland and Austria is wildly unique. No airport — you have to fly into another country. No currency — they use the Swiss Franc. No official language of their own — German is borrowed. And yet, it is one of the richest and safest countries on Earth. Liechtenstein proves this: You do not need size, flash, or your own rules to thrive.”
