  1. Each of the countries are either known for some goods that are specially manufactured and designed and later exported to other parts of the world or as greatest travel destinations. These are small countries and all are looked after in European Union.

  2. With couple of exceptions, European countries have collectively seen some developments and have good economy unlike Asian and African countries.
    Luxembourg for example has seen a great development even if it is a little country covered by firsts and mountains. It’s population is its advantage.

  3. That is an astonishing figure for per capita income of Luxembourg. I think the population is very less and the country is quite developed and the nation collects good revenue,that which makes the per capita income that high.

  4. Switzerland is my dream travel destination. It’s rich and proximal with nature and it’s tremendously beautiful.
    The watches from Switzerland are luxurious, timed to perfection, curated designs and grand looks. It’s from the export of such watches it collects revenues.

  5. Luxembourg, though a tiny country, has made great progress. It’s economy is very high also. Even with having much rural areas and forest,it seems to be have had amazing development to achieve the first spot.
