Monaco is the second smallest nation in the world, and the second most densely populated. Located in Europe, it is divided into 103 wards. It borders France on three sides and the Mediterranean Sea on its fourth. Roughly the same size as New York's Central Park, the city of Monaco and the Principality are essentially the same thing. Tourists are attracted to Monaco by its weather and casino, and its glamorous reputation. Businesspeople are attracted by its lack of income tax and what is seen as lax rules regarding money laundering.
