'''Andorra''' is a country in the [[Pyrenees]] Mountains. It is land-locked, being bordered on the north by [[France]] and on the south by [[Spain]]. It is not a member of the [[European Union]]. The country is very mountainous and over a third of its area is forest. The climate is similar to areas in the [[Alps]], with warm summers and snowy winters. == History == The area was ruled by the [[Moor]]s until 803, when it was conquered by [[Charlemagne]]. Under a treaty of 1278, it has two jount rulers, the King (now President) of France and the Bishop of [[Urgel]]. Since 1993, it has had a democratic elected parliament and self-government; the rulers' powers are now confined to relations with France and Spain. == Economy == About 80% of [[GDP]] is due to tourism, especially skiing, which benefits from the mountainous terrain. Other industries include banking, tobacco, forestry, furniture making and sheep farming. [[Category:Europe]] [[Category:Countries]]
