Liechtenstein has 19 km (12 mi) of railroads and 323 km (201 mi) of roads, but it has no airport; the nearest airport is in Zürich, Switzerland.
However, after several disagreements between the prince and the Landtag over the extent of his powers, the prince sought to formally expand his authority via a referendum amending the constitution, and he threatened to leave the principality in the event the referendum failed.
Following the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, Liechtenstein was briefly occupied by the armies of French emperor Napoleon I.
