LIECHTENSTEINIAN EXPANSION. Why hasn't the newly annointed "America's best writer on foreign policy" yet commented on Liechtenstein's expansionist tendencies?
Modern measuring methods proved that Liechtenstein's borders are 1.9km (1.2 miles) longer than previously thought. The border has been changed in some of the more remote corners of the mainly mountainous state, which has now grown in size by 0.5sq km (123 acres).Liechtenstein, population 35,000, now boasts 77.9km (48.3 miles) of borders, an area of 160 sq km (62 sq miles).The newly-discovered territory is equivalent to about the size of 50 football pitches.[...]The next largest nation, the Marshall Islands, is some 20sq km bigger than Liechtenstein, and appears in little danger of being overtaken any time soon.I suggest some kind of proxy war to solve this problem...Via Fruits and Votes.
