Measuring 468 sq kms, it’s the sixth smallest country in Europe, sixteenth smallest country in the world. With a population of approximately 80000 people, it is the eleventh smallest country in the world by population numbers.

Tourism is the main occupation for Andorran’s, contributing 80% of the GDP, attracting more than 10 millions tourists annually. Being a mountainous country only 2% of the land is arable, which is used to grow tobacco, which in turn supports manufacturing of cigarettes and cigars. The Banking sector contributes 19% to the GDP, as it enjoys a tax haven status. Euro is the official currency, and besides that it also enjoys many EU trade privileges despite being a Non EU country.
