Fun fact: During the war between Austria and Prussia in 1866 Liechtenstein sent an army of 80 men to participate in the war. Not only did they suffered no casualties but they also came back with 81 men because they made a friend.

Fun fact: San Marino is the only country in the world that has more cars than people, with more than 1200 cars for every 1000 people.

[@nicholaskelly1958]

Another transport fact concerning San Marino is the fact that it has the shortest national railway system. Originally opened in 1932 the 950mm gauge 3000v Dc Ferrovia Rimini-San Marino During WW II it was badly damaged and was closed. However in 2012 800m at the San Marino end of the line was reopened. It has a single electric car no AB03. It is proposed to extend the line and possibly completely rebuild it.

America is the only country with more guns than people.

Malta also has more cars than people

[@MrMackievelli]

There are four countries that have more cars than people. Gibraltar, San Marino, Lichtenstein and Andorra. Gibraltar has the highest per capita ownership at 1.4 cars per person. So in other words your fun fact isn't correct.

1,000 km squared means a square that is 1,000 km on each side (and is 1,000,000 square km in area). I'm assuming that when you say km squared you really mean square km. They're not the same thing.

[@shawndorisian1857]

Also Liechtenstein has a provision in its constitution which permits each of its municipalities to declare independence. So Liechtenstein can go from one to ten micro-states! The Constitution of Monaco as well as the treaty it has with France, if the Royal House of Monaco dies out then Monaco becomes part of France. Another interesting thing about the French Presidency is that once elected they become Co-Prince of Andorra; the other Co-Prince is an appointee of the Pope; the Spanish Bishop of Seu d'Urgell. Andorra is the only country that officially has Catalan as its national language. So the heads of State are never selected by the Andorran people. And when addressing the French President you would say: "Your Excellence and Highness"; the Bishop it would be: "Your Excellence and Highness" or "Your Most Reverend and Highness". Lastly you should have addressed the only nation without land but has diplomatic relations with 112 out of the 193 members of the United Nations as well as the other permanent observer nations, Palestine and the Holy See. Why it's the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta! Well that is all for now.

[@knockeledup]

I don’t understand why people keep spouting that old fact about France taking over Monaco if the Grimaldi family fails to produce an heir as if it were still true because it hasn’t been for more than 20 years! France and Monaco signed a new treaty in 2002 that guarantees Monaco’s sovereignty if there is no Grimaldi heir. This treaty replaces the one from 1918 that meant France would have taken over. Currently, if there is no heir, the throne would be passed on to a more distant family member rather than a direct descendent of the Prince. The whole reason this treaty was originally put into place in 1918 where France would take over is because if there were no heirs from the Grimaldis, the next in line to the throne were Germans and they weren’t exactly popular at the end of WWI!

[@Louisharvey56]

Thank you for the video, I found out that investing is not for everybody, you just need a strong stomach too see your portfolio go down. It might be wiser for a novice to start with Index investing, but it is not easy. My point is that when investing you need education first. To invest in growth stocks it is another level, definitely you need to know what are you doing.

[@Louisharvey56]

From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

[@mariaaguilar7076]

This is a phenomenal advice for a new stock traders and investors who want that quick short term game, but don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

[@Louisharvey56]

My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in, plus i dont do that by myself. i follow the trades of Mrs Karen Gaye Gray. She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

[@Louisharvey56]

@Helen wolf Yes, exactly. It's all programmatic and automated, plus it's relatively much easier to set up and connect my accounts than creating a financial plan and drafting investment strategies myself, my account just mirrors her trades in realtime.

LIK- tuhn- stine, not LITCH- tun- stine, took me all of 10 sechonds to confirm that , after having suffered a rapid fire mispronounciation. Also, does anyone know how big NYC Central park is in generaly understood terms such as football fields or hectares? ( Sixty second search; Central Park is 340 ha , about 840 football fields , 6,111 times smaller than Wales, or 2,720 times bigger than an Olympic sized swimming pool ( 50mx25m )) Talking of Wales, one hectare is the area that can be defined by a square with a side the length of three fully grown blue whales laid end to end. Perhaps " blue whale" could be used as a unit of measurement ? After all, everyone, but everyone, knows how big a blue whale is, right? So the former island paradise tastefuly converted into a barren wasteland known as Nauru could be said to be 150 blue whales across. Is "seven times smaller than" the same as " one seventh the size of " ?

Monaco is not a country it's a principality, it says so in its name "Principality of Monaco". It belongs to France, and it might not exist as a principality for much longer because the royal family hasn't had enough babies.

[@AndoCommando1000]

It literally doesn't belong to France, as it has its own royal family (France famously chopped the heads off its own royal family) it has its own governance, has its own passports, has its own laws and has its own citizenship.

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

France is the Republic of France. That does not make it not a country. Spain is the Kingdom of Spain. That does not make it not a country. It is true that the treaty stipulates that Monaco will be annexed by France if the princely family becomes extinct, but that is very unlikely to happen. The treaty allows the prince to adopt an heir.
