Andorra



I've been looking for good books about Andorra in the local libraries. I have been unable to find any books at all, let alone any good ones. So, for now, Andorra is going out the back door.

Here's some interesting information about this tiny little country:

-- It is only about 1/5 the size of Rhode Island (181 square miles total)

--Population is at about 70,000, less people than Asheville, NC

--The country boasts the highest life expectancy in the world, about 83.51 years.

--It is located between Spain and France (see map above) and is official ruled by a joint rule shared by France and Spain. It is, however, a parliamentary representative democracy

--Andorra was the 184th country to enter the United Nations, in 1993.

--Andorra has no taxes and no army.

Enough about that. On to Angola.

This project is looking more daunting with each day, and I'm not sure that I will ever finish it. For the time being, however, it's a good idea.

  1. !Animo! It can be an ongoing side project and not something you have to breeze through. Take some time off to read something else if you have to, then get back to it. No rush :)
