      @Andorra

      Introduction Andorra

      Background:

       For 715 years, from 1278 to 1993, Andorrans lived under a unique

       co-principality, ruled by French and Spanish leaders (from 1607

       onward, the French chief of state and the Spanish bishop of Urgel).

       In 1993, this feudal system was modified with the titular heads of

       state retained, but the government transformed into a parliamentary

       democracy. Long isolated and impoverished, mountainous Andorra

       achieved considerable prosperity since World War II through its

       tourist industry. Many immigrants (legal and illegal) are attracted

       to the thriving economy with its lack of income taxes.
