Andorra is a small landlocked country in the eastern Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. Founded in 1278 under a charter linking it to the Diocese of Urgell, it operates as a co-principality with two co-princes: the Bishop of Urgell in Spain and the President of France. With a population of around 89,000 and an area of roughly 468 km², it is one of Europe's smallest nations. Catalan is the official language, though Spanish, Portuguese, and French are widely spoken. The economy relies heavily on tourism and duty-free shopping.

Andorra is a sovereign microstate and one of the smallest countries in Europe. Located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains, it occupies a strategic position between France and Spain. The nation operates under a unique political system as a co-principality, with joint sovereignty held by the Bishop of Urgell (representing the Catholic Church) and the President of France. This unusual governance structure dates back to the 1278 Paréage agreement. Andorra is not a member of the European Union but participates in the United Nations and Council of Europe. The country has experienced significant economic development driven by tourism, banking, and its status as a tax haven.
