Chapter 351: The One Day King (2)
There are more than 30 pocket-sized countries in the world with a land area of less than 10,000 square kilometers, and it is difficult to develop large-scale modern agriculture and highly developed industry, but they have their own unique development models. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 For example, Liechtenstein is located in the Alps between Austria and Switzerland, and with its beautiful natural scenery, it has developed a well-developed tourism industry. In addition, it is the world's largest exporter of stamps, and stamps have become the country's main industry.
In fact, many small countries have their own characteristics in national development. Andorra, for example, is a tax haven in Europe, with more than 1,000 duty-free shops and shopping malls in the country, and shopping is one of the main purposes for tourists visiting Andorra. The Principality of Monaco has golden beaches in the Mediterranean Sea and a highly developed gambling industry, and its largest city, Monte Carlo, is known as the world's top three gambling cities, along with Macau and Las Vegas. Luxembourg, on the other hand, benefits from a particularly well-developed financial sector, with more than 200 banks and more than 2,000 investment funds. And Brunei, Asia, is one of the richest regions in the world due to its rich oil and gas resources.
After breakfast the next day, Shakru officially began his career as king, first in a luxurious carriage to his office, the government building.
The royal carriage of this luxury car was modeled after the golden carriage of the Queen of England, also known as the royal golden carriage. Although the name has the word "gold" in it, and it is indeed ornate and exquisite, it is not made of gold, but the wood is painted in the color of gold, and it is said that the Queen of England's car was made of gilded wood.
The whole carriage is 3.6 meters high, more than seven meters long, weighs four tons, and is decorated with statues of cherubs, crowns, palm trees, and the tail of a dolphin with a human face. The groom driving the carriage is also dressed in a neat and crisp tuxedo, and everything is full of royal atmosphere and medieval style.
The interior of the carriage is very modern, with six hydraulic stabilizers installed to ensure the smooth movement of the carriage, and the addition of power windows and interior heating, in which the classic and the modern are perfectly blended.
When Shakru was lamenting the carriage, Amisha, the "temporary queen" who was riding in the carriage with him, suddenly pointed to a street sign on the side of the road and said to Shakru in surprise: "Brother Shakru, look at that street sign, your name is actually engraved on it!" ”
Shakru followed Amisha's instructions and looked out the car window, and sure enough, a street sign on the side of the road clearly wrote the words "Shakru Street", and the coachman said loudly in front: "Dear Mr. King, in order to celebrate your accession to the throne, there are now three main streets in the country named after you!" ”
At this time, Shakru remembered that there is indeed such a content in the tourism project, and the street can be named after the "temporary king", so the street signs of these roads are basically changed every day, but if you take a closer look, you will find that it is very easy to replace, because in order to replace it conveniently every day, it is easy to clean the paint. Not only that, but every policeman I met on the road saluted Shakru with a respectful expression!
Unconsciously, the whole city, oh, no, the whole country has gone around, it's not that the carriage is running fast, but the country is too small, according to the Northeast dialect, it is "the time to eat a handful of melon seeds can be a day trip to the whole country"
At this time, Shakru said to Amisha with emotion: "If I had known that there was such a good place, then our wedding would have been held here, and there would be a real wedding of the king and queen!" ”
"Yes, yes, I knew that I should really come here to hold a wedding, Brother Shakru, don't you know, I was about to toss to death when I was preparing for the wedding in those days, how can we have so many rules for Indian weddings?" Amisha also said with regret on her face.
At this time, the coachman joked and said: "We can provide the king's wedding service here, but we have to book in advance, and you are welcome to come back next time." ”
Soon the carriage came to the government building in Liechtenstein, which is also very interesting, and it is estimated that it is the only one in the world, the whole building has only three floors, the top floor is the Prime Minister's Office, the second floor is the court, and the first floor is ...... It turned out to be a prison!
Can you imagine the king and the prisoners living in the same building? Isn't it strange that you can't put it into words?
However, according to the actual situation of this country, such a situation is nothing, because the country is already so small that there are no thieves, the crime rate is basically zero, and the number of prisoners in the prison is generally not more than ten, so the first-floor prison is already rich. There have even been cases where government workers have been locked in the building because they are working overtime, and it turns out that the criminals have helped to open the door, because by the end of the day, the jailers have already gone home......
The reason is that there are so few people here, and they basically know each other, so you're always embarrassed to do it to your acquaintances, right? Therefore, the average offender makes a mistake unintentionally, and the crime is not big.
In the office of the Prime Minister's Office, there are also several documents that need to be approved for the interim king Shakru, of course, it cannot be a real document, most of which are the introduction of Liechtenstein and various tourism projects, and Shakru is very emotional after reading it.
It is normal for a small country to develop tourism, but it is the first to engage in "national rental" like Liechtenstein, which is like operating the whole country as a high-end travel agency, including food, accommodation and play, which is really suitable for some institutions or couples to hold large-scale events such as weddings.
It is no wonder that Prince Hans Adam II is the richest man in European royalty, and he did not have much money when he succeeded to the throne in 1989.
Liechtenstein is now not only wealthy, but also one of the highest in Europe in terms of income, and has won nine gold medals at the Olympics, all of course, in snow sports, as it is still a ski resort.
He had a great time here, thanking Bennon for his recommendation, and took Amisha for a tour of Switzerland and Austria until India's annual "Olympic Games" approached.
