The request surprised authorities in the state of Liechtenstein - population 35,000 with an area of 61.7 square miles between Switzerland and Austria.
Local property lease agent Karl Schwaerzler said: "We've had requests for palaces and villages but never one to hire the whole country before."

The request surprised authorities in the state of Liechtenstein – population 35,000 with an area of 61.7 square miles between Switzerland and Austria.
Local property lease agent Karl Schwaerzler said: "We’ve had requests for palaces and villages but never one to hire the whole country before."
He admitted: "It would have been possible." But the deal fell through because Snoop’s management "did not give us enough time".
So take note music video producers, filmmakers, and wedding/bar mitzvah planners, it apparently is possible to rent a sovereign principality in Western Europe as long as you give them enough notice.
