Andorra

Jump to: navigation, search

Andorra is the only "co-principality" in the world, with the two co-princes being Bishop Joan Enric Vives i Sicília of Spain and some fellow named François Hollande.[1]

Andorra's economy is tied strongly to tourism and helping people avoid paying taxes. Most of the tourism industry is actually related to the giving of visas, as it is prized by constant travelers as a rare and hard-to-get visa (the country is far in the mountains, and there are many trains that will bypass it entirely.)

The country is mostly Roman Catholic, but there is a growing Muslim population and several Protestant communities.

[edit] Notes al peu

  1. Once upon a time, a bishop and a noble were the co-princes, each holding land on either side of the tiny principality. As time passed, the noble's land was absorbed into the French state, but not the Bishop's into the Spanish state.
