Me too. I've been there before and it's an amazingly beautiful country. Sadly, if countries like Switzerland have only had one appearance, I doubt an unknown like San Marino will.
@Jamesthwilliams: Ah, but here's the kicker......those statistics lie!
Luxembourg if often considered a heavy drinking nation because of it's cheap alcohol. Most of those beer and wine drinkers are actually French and German tourists and shoppers who cross the border for cheaper prices!
Double landlocked means that Liechtenstein is not only landlocked (not bordering a large body of water such as a sea or ocean), but also landlocked by landlocked countries.
@IcelandFTW: You mean San Marino, and it is the oldest (existing) republic of the world in both counts: It was created as a country (with a government in the form of a republic) in the 4th century AD, and has existed continuously ever since.
(Rome was a republic before, of course, but by the 4th century AD it had ceased to be that.)
When you mean that Monaco is the oldest republic, do you mean the longest time a country has been a republic or the first country to be a republic? Otherwise that would be us
