Luxembourg, officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
is a small landlocked country in Western Europe.

It borders Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east,
and France to the south.

Its capital and most populous city, Luxembourg,
is one of the four institutional seats of the European Union.

and the seat of several EU institutions, notably the Court of Justice of the European Union, the highest judicial authority.

Luxembourgish, French and German — are considered official languages and are used for administrative matters in the country.

With an area of 2,586 square kilometers (998 sq mi), Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe.

Luxembourg is one of Europe's smallest countries,
ranking 168th in size of the 194 independent countries of the world.

It had a population of 645,397, which makes it one of the least-populated countries in Europe.

Foreigners account for nearly half the population.

The largest foreign ethnic groups were the Portuguese,
comprising 16.4% of the total population.

Luxembourg is a representative democracy headed by a constitutional monarch, Grand Duke Henri,

making it the world's only remaining sovereign grand duchy.

Luxembourg is a developed country with an advanced economy
and the world's highest GDP per capita.

The city of Luxembourg was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the exceptional preservation.

Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Union, OECD, the United Nations, NATO, and the Benelux.

The northern third of the country is known as the Oesling, and forms part of the Ardennes.

It is dominated by hills and low mountains, including the Kneiff near Wilwerdange,which is the highest point, at 560 meters.

Luxembourg has an oceanic climate, marked by high precipitation, particularly in late summer. The summers are warm and winters cool.

The industrial sector, dominated by steel until the 1960s, has since diversified to include chemicals, rubber, and other products.

During recent decades, growth in the financial sector has more than compensated for the decline in steel production.

Services, especially banking and finance, account for the majority of the economic output.

Besides Luxembourgish, what are
