Wait, what are the rest of us missing? Is Liechtenstein actually a state or is that a joke? What's going on?
Liechtenstein is a real country between Switzerland and Austria haha. They have no military and were accidentally invaded by the Swiss when a bunch of their soldiers got lost one time
Not just the one time. The swiss bombed it via artillery once (blew up some deck chairs in the only ski resort), started a forest fire with anti-air missiles, set up an observation post, and had soldiers march in like 5 times.
