The figures, side by side

Each figure is the same observation, with the same source, as on the two dossiers. Every value shows the year it was observed — vintages differ by indicator and nation. A “—” is an absence in the source data, never a zero. Metric names link to the world ranking; values open the figure on its own dossier.

Entangled histories

2 events in which either nation’s sourced chronicle names the other — including under earlier names of the same state. Each is the same record, with the same sources, as on its own chronicle; nothing here was written for this page.

  1. 1921

    Liberal constitution of 1921

    Following the First World War, Liechtenstein adopted a new constitution that combined the prince with an elected Landtag and instruments of direct democracy, modernising the state as it reoriented toward Switzerland.

  2. 1923–1924

    Customs union with Switzerland and the Swiss franc

    A customs treaty signed in 1923 and in force from 1 January 1924 joined Liechtenstein and Switzerland into a single customs and economic area; Liechtenstein adopted the Swiss franc, binding its economy to its western neighbour.
