Liechtenstein, the tiny principality wedged between Austria and Switzerland, has had its borders lengthened.
Modern measuring methods proved that Liechtenstein's borders are 1.9km (1.2 miles) longer than previously thought.
The border has been changed in some of the more remote corners of the mainly mountainous state, which has now grown in size by 0.5sq km (123 acres).
Liechtenstein, population 35,000, now boasts 77.9km (48.3 miles) of borders, an area of 160 sq km (62 sq miles).
The newly-discovered territory is equivalent to about the size of 50 football pitches.
