Extractions: Jaume Ollé , 20 Aug 1998 This flag was adopted on 24 June 1937, when the crown was added. The plain blue over red was adopted on 5 October 1921. On 25 July 1957, a new law changed slighty the crown design. On 18 September 1982 the crown was modernised a little. Some sources say the proportions are 2:3, some say 3:5. In an alternate version the crown is turned 90 degrees (anti-clockwise) so it can be hung from a horizontal flag-staff.

Extractions: Encyclopedia Liechtenstein The country is mainly mountainous, with the Rhine valley in its western third. The population is largely Roman Catholic, with a Protestant minority. German is the national language; a High German dialect is also spoken. There is a large component of foreign workers. Traditionally agricultural, Liechtenstein has been increasingly industrialized, with industry now employing over half of the workforce. Most of the rest of the labor force works in the service sector. Only a small fraction of the population still engages in agriculture (dairying and the raising of livestock and cereals). The leading manufactured products are machinery and other metal goods, pharmaceuticals, optical lenses, electronic equipment, textiles, ceramics, and consumer goods. A large part of the production is exported. Tourism is an increasingly important industry. Much revenue is derived from the minimal taxes imposed on international corporations, which, because of the low taxes, are headquartered there. The stable political environment and the secrecy of its financial institutions contribute to its reputation as a banking center. Liechtenstein is a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
