Liechtenstein is still split along the old 'country'
lines of the upper and lower counties (Oberland
and Unterland). The lower or Unterland
is smaller and is centred around the Eschnerberg,
a hill in the middle of the Rhine floodplain.
 Schellenberg
was the name of the old county, and the village of Schellenberg still
sits in the middle of the Eschnerberg, although
the 'capital' of the Unterland is Eschen.
 The
upper or Oberland is the larger and therefore
more dominant area, containing its original capital, Vaduz, which is
still the country's capital. Most of the Oberland
is mountainous, with the country's ski resort, Malbun, at the middle
of the Alpine base of the country.
