its largest city is Triesenberg with a population of approximately
three thousand people. Liechtenstein constantly ranks amongst the
highest in terms of GDP per capita The country became one of the
wealthiest in the world in the 1970s due to the low corporate tax
which drew many companies to Liechtenstein. Gambling is legal but
strictly regulated in the Principality of Liechtenstein. Since 2009,
the government was willing to issue one casino licence but it only
happened in 2017, with the opening of Admiral Casino.Since 1846, that
there were no casinos in the country.
