candidate: Liechtenstein claims restitution for ( which is ten times the size of Liechtenstein ) of land in the Czech Republic confiscated from its princely family in 1918 by the then newly established state of Czechoslovakia , the predecessor of the Czech Republic ; the Czech Republic insists that the power to claim restitution does not go back before February 1948 , when the Communists seized power ; Liechtenstein did not diplomatically recognize the Czech Republic until 2009 , and the Czech Republic in turn did not diplomatically recognize Liechtenstein .
