The country is bordered on 3 sides by France, which is financially and socially responsible for the defense of the country. The entire country has only 30,000 residents. Wealthy individuals tend to move to Monaco, given the fact there is no income tax. The country’s GDP is about $ 6.5 billion. Given the previous history of the country and its celebrations, this royal wedding is certain to be an costly event.
