Overview of Key Areas and Political Entities: Caprivi Strip, Liechtenstein, and Palestine

This document summarizes various regions including the Caprivi Strip, a Namibian area linked to the Caprivi Liberation Army (CLA), and Liechtenstein, noted for its neutrality and small size within Europe. The Caprivi Strip, inhabited mainly by the Lozi people, is central to CLA's separatist efforts. Moreover, it discusses Palestine's status upgrade at the United Nations, moving from an observer entity to a non-member observer state, with significant international support for recognition as a sovereign state.
