A Liechtensteiner is a person from Liechtenstein — though actually the same word also works as an adjective, for things that belong to that country (a Liechtensteiner company, a Liechtensteiner passport). Liechtenstein itself is a very small country in Europe, sitting between Austria and Switzerland. The capital is . Only about 37,000 people live there, fewer than in many towns, and you could cross a good part of it in a day. Though actually size is not what the place is famous for. Many foreign companies put their main office there because tax is low, and the banks were long known for keeping company information secret. So when you hear Liechtensteiner, think “from that tiny, quietly rich Alpine country,” not a kind of stone and not a drink.
