Liechtenstein National Flag

The flag of Liechtenstein features a horizontal bicolour with a crown in the upper left-hand corner. The red which composes the bottom half of the flag represents the fires lit inside most homes within Liechtenstein. The upper blue half symbolises the blue skies found in Liechtenstein. Finally, the crown is a symbol of the country’s prince and the unity amongst its people. This flag became the national flag of Liechtenstein on the 24^th of June 1937, soon after the addition of the golden crown. The crown was added to the flag of Liechtenstein, which was previously just the red and blue horizontal bicolour, after the 1936 Olympic Games. This was due to the flags of Liechtenstein and Haiti, being the exact same which was not recognised until the Olympic Ceremony.

Liechtenstein is a small principality, approximately 160km² in size, located between the nation of Austria and Switzerland. As a result, this makes Liechtenstein one of only two countries along with Uzbekistan to be double landlocked, meaning that the countries bordering the principality are also landlocked themselves. The capital city Vaduz is located in the western portion of the principality and is home to the Vaduz Castle, which is the official residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein and his family. It is here that the National Day of Liechtenstein is celebrated, with the prince inviting the approximately 40,000 residents of Liechtenstein to celebrate at the castle’s annual festival, on the 15^th of August every year. The official language of Liechtenstein is German. However, an Alemannic dialect is most commonly spoken and is similar to Swiss German. The principality does not have an army and relies on its police force to provide safety and security, with Liechtenstein being one of the safest countries in the world.
