Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in northwestern Europe. It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south. Its capital, Luxembourg City, is one of the four official capitals of the European Union and the seat of the European Court of Justice, the highest judicial authority in the EU. Luxembourg has a population of just over 600,000 people, making it one of the smallest countries in Europe. It is also one of the richest, with a GDP per capita of over $100,000. This wealth is due in part to the country's highly developed financial sector, which accounts for more than a third of its GDP. Luxembourg is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. The head of state is the Grand Duke, while the head of government is the Prime Minister. The unicameral parliament, the Chamber of Deputies, has 60 members elected by proportional representation. The country is divided into three administrative districts, which are further subdivided into cantons. Luxembourg has a highly developed economy and is ranked as the second safest country in the world. It is also one of the world's leading nations in terms of press freedom and quality of life.
