Interesting question! Personally, Liechtenstein almost feels like Switzerland’s 27th canton. They speak a Germanic dialect very similar to Swiss German, use the Swiss franc as their currency, and do not have their own military. Geographically, they occupy the eastern side of a small section of the Upper Rhine Valley, with Switzerland on the western side. This close connection makes them feel very familiar. However, one key difference is that Liechtenstein has a monarch, whereas modern Switzerland has never had a real monarchy.

Liechtenstein allows communities to "opt out" of the monarchy and join Switzerland if they want, right? as I understand it, none have chosen to do this yet.
