Facts:
Back in 2001, the Prince was trying to push through a series of constitutional reforms to give himself more power—namely the right to veto and appoint judges.
As the debate raged, the Prince threatened to leave the country and take his family’s holdings with him to Vienna if he didn’t win. As for the country: He’d sell it to “Bill Gates or anyone else who can afford it”.
It’s debatable if you can actually sell a country to someone else, but it would have been pretty neat if this had actually happened.
In the end, the Prince got his way and the people supported him in a referendum.
In 2011, the entire country was put up on Airbnb.
For a fee of $70,000 a day, you could “rent” Liechtenstein. For that amount, you would get accommodations for 150 people, temporary renaming of street signs, a temporary custom-made currency, ceremonial keys to the Principality, and a wine tasting at the Prince’s estate. For additional fees, you could witness a medieval procession, and a have huge logo made out of wax. No one actually took advantage of the offer. A wedding party was planning to do it at one point, but the wedding was called off and it never happened.
WOMEN COULDNT VOTE HERE UNTIL 1986, that's ridiculous

Hi. I live on a SUPER busy road and you can definitely hear cars and stuff in this record. I'm trying to mitigate as best as I can with curtains, sound dampening panels, and carefully chosen record times. But it's like 24/7 here and I'm sorry. Someday I hope to have an actual closet to record in, currently I have zero of them in my home.
