Because of its limited geographical size, Luxembourg is sometimes perceived as a micro state similar to Liechtenstein. Yet while Luxembourg is indeed small, it is not that small. Luxembourg is with its more than 500,000 people roughly 14 times greater than Liechtenstein. It is also a lot greater in terms of population than Iceland. :)
