About Monaco it says: 

"The prosperity of Monaco is going forth from François Blanc, the wizard of Monte-Carlo, who got a consession for 50 years on the playhouse, the famous Societé des Bains de Mer. Right from the start the various institutions of S.B.M. (hotels, casino, theater) attract a crowd of tourists. Later, the economic boom of the principality was accompanied by sumptuous urbanic changes around the casino, an area which became known as Monte Carlo. Today, Monaco is still dreaming: the magnificent decor of the Rock, the Belle Epoque villas, its Californian architecture, its beautiful gardens and of course the destiny of the unique princely family.
Since the accession to the throne of Prince Rainier III in 1949, the Ruler is attached to the development of industry, tourism, scientific research, sports and culture. Monaco so becomes a business center with high-tech industry, arts and culture, far surpassing the traditional image of upscale tourism resort and paradise of the game.
At the death of Prince Rainier III in April 2005, his son Prince Albert ascended the throne.
Throughout the world, he embodies the environmental cause, and sustainable development assuring the international influence of his small country."
