GEOGRAPHY: Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in the north-west of continental Europe, bordered by Belgium,
France, and Germany. Luxembourg has a population of under half a million people in an area of about 2,600 square
kilometres (1,000 sq mi). It is one of the smallest countries in Europe. It is ranked 167th in size of all the countries of
the world. The country is about 2,586 square kilometres (998 sq. mi) in size. In the west, it borders the Belgian
province of Luxembourg, which is (at 4,443 km²; 1,715 sq. mi) nearly twice the size of the country. It measures 82 km
(51 miles) long and 57 km (35 miles) wide.
The border between Luxembourg and Germany is formed by three rivers: the Moselle, the Sauer, and the Our.
HISTORY: Luxembourg's independence was reaffirmed in 1839, and again in 1867, after the Luxembourg crisis nearly
led to war between Prussia and France. In the same year, 1839, Luxembourg joined the German Confederation.
Luxembourg was invaded and occupied by Germany during World War I, but was allowed to maintain its independence
and political mechanisms. It was again subject to German occupation in World War II, and was formally annexed into
the Third Reich in 1942.
POLITICS: Luxembourg has a parliamentary form of government with a constitutional monarchy inherited by
male-preference primogeniture. Under the constitution of 1868, executive power is exercised by the Grand Duke or
Grand Duchess and the cabinet, which consists of a Prime Minister and several other ministers. The Grand Duke has the
power to dissolve the legislature and reinstate a new one.
