      Andorra has no standing army but signed treaties with Spain and France for its protection. Its small volunteer army is purely ceremonial in function. The paramilitary GIPA (trained in counter-terrorism and hostage management) is part of the national police. Defense assistance is provided by France and Spain under an informal agreement between the three countries.

    • @Ryan98063

      dagur7 No I live in Newfoundland, which was an independent nation, and by the same definition would have been considered a Micronation prior to confederation with Canada in 1949 (awful mistake that was). Newfoundland is about the same size as Iceland and Labrador is a vast area roughly the size of Italy, with 325,000 people all combined at the time, and only 500,000 now.
      So I do have some say in that Newfoundland and Labrador would not have been a micronation and Iceland would not either. But my desire not to want to be called a Micronation stems from the bad prejudices Canadians have against Newfoundlanders too, so I'm marginally more bitter than an Icelander.

    Haha, I just came from reading the wikipedia on Andorra and I guess I'm not the only one who finds them absolutely adorable. Having been forgotten in the Versailles treaty after WW1, they technically remained at war with Germany until the fifties when they officially declared peace. Having a military run on a defense budget where it's unusually high if it has 4.90 dollars for one year, a military of only 12 professional permanent personal. Having a system where the bigger problems are to be handled by "able-bodied men" which would happen in case of natural disasters, state of emergencies, crisis, or war. 85,000 population, with 10.2 million annual tourists. This country is so cute!

    Okay so I live 50km away from Andorra and 20km away from La Tour de Carol train station (I use the R3 Rodalies from RENFE).
    -La Tour de Carol is a village on its own. The train that goes there comes from L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) and is the R3 from Rodalies. It's 70km away from La Seu d'Urgell (Spanish entrance to Andorra).
    -L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre is a different village with a different station. The train that stops there comes from somewhere in France (I have no idea from where, but I suppose it comes from Toulouse?). Both villages are 30 minutes apart by train.
    -Andorra has had an airport since the 80s. It didn't, however, have commercial flights until this year so yes, until now the closest actual airports are Girona's (just realized you didn't put that one), Toulouse's and BCN's.
    Random fact: You can drive from border to border (north to south) in 2 hours by car.
    Another random fact that no one will care about: I personally know the co-prince of Andorra and have talked to him several times. It was actually him who did my Confirmation (Christian sacrament) xD

    Andorra is a microstate, not a micronation.
    Micronations include countries like Sealand which claim to be independent nations but are not officially recognized by world governments or major international organizations (but if they have had wars over independence like Somaliland or Kosovo, they don't count).
    Also, microstates are based on area, and not population, so Iceland and Cyprus don't count.

    Catalan is a romance language, full stop. It is not somehow related to Spanish nor French. It just is as it is and evolved parallely from vulgar Latin as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian did. It was very similar to Occitan, a language once spoken in the southern part of France, but Napoleon only wanted French language in France, so he banned it from school and society and it disappeared.

    • @RamonGonzalez-if6ei
      @RamonGonzalez-if6ei 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +brtmn Occitan still exists. In fact, it is one of the three official languages in Catalonia and currently being spoken by thousands of people in France. Even though, in France it is not an official language and the french government doesn't work for the Occitan so in France people will tend to use more French, but in Catalonia the Occitan language it will never disappear.

      Eu estiven de erasmus en Chipre e alí apunteime as clases intensivas de grego moderno. Grego clásico estudara no bacharel, pero non me lembraba de nada agás do alfabeto. Hoxe en día o grego moderno fáloo, pero un pouco "chapurreao" jajaja E cando leo un texto en grego antigo podo identificar algunhas palabras, pero máis ou menos como lle pasa a calqueira falante dunha lingua romance co latín. Eu estudo filoloxía inglesa :)

    I moved to Andorra last June and I've gotta say it's the best decision I have ever made! 🚀
    I love living in a quiet area away from traffic jams and big buildings, but it only takes a 5-10 minutes drive to find almost anything I need. For anything I can't find "near" me, it just takes 15-20 minutes to get to Andorra La Vella, where there are way more options available. 📚
    Also, it's worth mentioning that both corporate and income taxes are below 10% 💵, so moving here gave me the opportunity to buy a property + save/invest for the future + invest in my own business (Andorra Tech Valley) at the same time. In Spain, that wouldn't have been possible... 🤦‍♂️
