No, Luxembourg is not a perforated state. A perforated state is one that completely surrounds another sovereign state, like Italy surrounding San Marino. Luxembourg is a landlocked country bordered by Belgium, Germany, and France, but it does not enclose any other sovereign nations within its territory.
Xavier Bettel is the Minister of State for Luxembourg.
Council of State of Luxembourg was created in 1856.
Advantages of being a perforated state is that if you have different languages and cultures in one particular area that one area can have their own state and not have tension in that one area. One disadvantage can be that the perforated state and the state which is surrounded may have cultural conflict. Examples of perforated states are South Africa which surrounds Lesotho and Italy, which surrounds Vatican City.
A state that completely surrounds another. A good example would be South Africa as it completely surrounds the small state of Lesotho in all directions.

No, it is an example of a perforated state. Indonesia would be an example of a fragmented state.
No Luxembourg has more than one city. Luxembourg's capital city is also named Luxembourg which causes people to think that it's a city state. Though it is very true that a city as big as the whole of Luxembourg wouldn't be so big. (Tokyo is larger than the whole of Luxembourg by many times)
An example of a perforated state is Italy, as it completely surrounds the independent country of San Marino and also encloses the Vatican City. These enclaved states are entirely surrounded by Italian territory, highlighting the unique geographic relationship between them. Perforated states can create complexities in governance and resource management due to their relationships with the enclaved territories.
Le Luxembourg means nothing in French. It is the name of a small state nudged between Belgium, France and Germany. Its capital city goes by the same name, Luxembourg.
