The autonomy of the Liechtenstein communities is in the upper range compared to the other Central European states along with Switzerland. Despite their small size, the municipalities have complex forms in terms of their territorial extent: in addition to a main part, seven municipalities also include one or more [[Exclave|exclaves]]. Citizens' cooperatives, which exist in about half of Liechtenstein's municipalities, own forests and pastures for [[Collective farming|collective use]], as well as parceled areas that are left for private use.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}
