The wealth factor leapt to mind as a second consideration--after proximity to those three countries. Size, too--such a small country in area with a population that size, but picture that intense cluster of homes hugging the hillsides. Monaco is the only place that fits all these considerations.

Before the clue even came up, I thought Lichtenstein. Then when the clue came up, I was certain of it. It seemed to fit all the requirements. I've never felt so ripped off! Lol.

There aren't very many Swiss there (2.5% of the population). The largest population groups in order are French, Monegasque, Italian, British, Belgian, German, Swiss, and US. The question was about the two largest and the sixth largest groups. The odd thing about Monaco is that the native-born population is a minority.

@@haroldbrooks9821 the Swiss thing threw me off for that reason. Perhaps they should have said British instead, because then I'd have been more likely to say Monaco. Monaco is a city-state (and is among the world's smallest countries) so the native-born population being a minority is not a surprise since that's small to begin with and moving just four miles means you're in France.

Well done Mattae

That answer was a little dangerous. Both Monaco and Lichtenstein have populations of approximately 38,000 residents and have populations of Italians, Swiss and French, just that Monaco has has more of them.

My first thought was the correct answer, but then I looked at the population, and switched it to the Vatican. 38,000 - that's a town, not a city. Maybe it's because I live in China, and there are 38,000 living on my block (no kidding).

Every tax haven is full of rich people from around the world. Or, far more often, their money. Park your money in foreign real estate, you don't have to pay a dime, here or there. Buy thousands of units of homes. Prevent anyone from living there. You keep ownership of property your home country can't tax you for, and the local government promises not to charge you either. Meanwhile, no taxes are collected anywhere on your billions for the funding of social programs, and people can't even live in the units you bought, because you'd rather not draw attention to the fact that they exist. Its more corrupt than even shipping registry.

Monaco does not border Italy. The Italian border is 5 miles to the east.

Monaco's population as of this year is around 41,000. Lichtenstein's population this year is about 39,000. Jeopardy didn't get it wrong any more or less than you did. Populations constantly change. They are never static and quiz shows are almost always 2-3 years behind such statistics including Jeopardy. The rest of the question is approximately correct. But Swiss, Italian and French nationals make up less than 20% of Lichtenstein's population making Monaco the more correct answer.

Lichtenstein was my first thought as well, but I thought Monaco probably has a smaller population. Turns out their population sized are both very similar.

Rich folk flock to their own. Princess Grace wasn't even happy in Monaco, and her husband, Prince Rainier, kept cheating on her nonetheless. Her death was horribly tragic, but as a beautiful middle class American woman, she never felt comfortable in 50s America. And felt worse in this simulation of 19th-century Europe too.

Come on now. This is pretty easy. There's only one tiny country in between Italy and France. The Swiss part could throw you off, but the Swiss are just rich and move to Monaco, I guess. Malta has way over 38,000 people. It has over half a million, actually. Liechtenstein is nowhere near France and doesn't even border Italy. Nearly everyone there speaks German (Swiss German, I'd imagine) and so it doesn't make sense that French and Italian people would live there.
