Andorra by Kervin
Andorra is called officially the Principality of Andorra, located in western Europe east to the Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France.Andorra is the sixth smallest nation in Europe and its name is thought to be derived from the Andosinos, an ancient tribe who are believed to have lived there. Politics Andorra is a parlamentray co-principilaty with the president of France and the Bishop of Urgell (Spain) as co-princes. They take place in a framework of parlamentary representative democracy in which the Primer Minister is the head of government and a pluriform multi-party system. Economy Andorra's economy is based on tourism. It is estimated to have 9 million tourists per year. Agricultural production is only 2% because of the land and most of thefood must be imported. Andorra is not a member of the European Union but is treated as one, with benefits such as trade in manufactured goods. Language The national language is Catalan, a romance languange. Many people speak Spanish or French as well. Religion The people from Andorra is predominantly Roman Catholic. Culture Because of Andorra's immigration, historical links, and close geographic proximity, languages such as French and Spanish are part of their culture. Folk dances are very common in there such is the case of the contrap cotrapas and marratxa. It may sound copy-pasted but it wasn't i actually summarized the info. : )
