The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a landlocked country in western Europe.
Government is a parliamentary democracy with a monarch.  It has the only
sovereign Grand Duchy in the world, but his powers have been reduced to
a virtually nominal status after disputes with parliament over
euthanasia.  The economy is highly industrialized and diversified, with
a highly educated multilingual workforce and excellent infrastructure.
Banking and finance are dominant economic elements, and the country is
attractive for its low taxes.  The capital city has several institutions
and agencies of the European Union.
