The principality of Liechtenstein is divided into eleven municipalities (Gemeinden - singular Gemeinde), most consisting of only a single town. These are:
Balzers - in the southern point of the country, also includes the town of Mäls
Eschen - in the north, includes the town of Nendeln
Gamprin - on the Rhine, just west of Eschen, including the town of Bendern
Mauren - in the north, close to Eschen, includes Schaanwald
Planken - smallest community, in north central Liechtenstein
Ruggell - on the Rhine, northernmost community of Liechtenstein
Schaan - the most populous community, just north of Vaduz
At the close of the conflict, Czechoslovakia and Poland, acting to seize German possessions, expropriated the entirety of the Liechtenstein dynasty's hereditary lands and possessions in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia /the Princes of Liechtenstein lived of course in Vienna and not in the remote valley/.
Liechtenstein is a parliamentary democracy, headed by the prince, or Fürst, currently Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, who succeeded his father after his death in 1989.
Liechtenstein is situated in the Rhine valley in the Alps.
