Facts on Luxembourg (city & grand duchy)

Since I keep running into this question myself, I’ve looked for some facts on the web on Luxembourg. I’ve used 2 sources: wiki pedia (nice, but how reliable / accurate is it?) and the cia (reliable – if they choose not to lie to you ;-). Well anyway, some details:

  • The duchy has about 475,000 inhabitans (2006, CIA), 465,000 in 2005 (wiki)
  • The city has a bit more than 75,000 residents (2005, Pedia); the metropolitan area (which includes Hesperange, Sandweiler, Strassen and Walferdange) is comprised of about 105,000 people (Pedia)
  • Male/female ration in the country is skewed, more males than females below 65 (CIA)
  • It is the 82nd smalles country in the world (CIA)
  • It is a rainy city (Pedia)

    nitpick: it’s “duchy”, not “dutchy”. If you had been reading our latest D&D campaign’s setting, you’d have known that Hugo :)

    greetings from Rosmalen and be well!
