Based on its absence from the list I'm glad to see that Germany will continue to recognize the independace of Liechtenstein.
Hmm, Liechtenstein sounds quite German to me ...
I'd like to see a list which explains why Germany shouldn't be a country of it's own, but belong to this and that country. And please don't forget to cc it to Helga.
But this is getting quite off topic now - but nobody cares. So I don't, too :-)
