European Political History Analysis

There seems to be a tendency to disregard the sovereignty of the little Principality of Liechtenstein. In a chart published by one of America’s leading news magazines on the United Nations, there is this strange reference: “Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco and San Marino are not eligible (for membership in the United Nations) being principalities rather than sovereign ( sic ) states.” A book on the government of Switzerland devotes the last three paragraphs to Liechtenstein and then concludes that it looked as though Liechtenstein had “actually become a Swiss canton in all respects except, perhaps, for the right of the principality to issue its own postage stamps.”
