🇦🇩Andorra Political Stability: 58/100

Andorra is a small, mountainous country located in the eastern Pyrenees, with an average elevation of 1,996 meters. The terrain is predominantly rugged mountains, with the highest peak being Coma Pedrosa at 2,946 meters. The climate varies with altitude, featuring alpine, continental, and oceanic conditions, leading to cold winters and temperate summers, with significant snowfall in the mountains.

Andorra has a small population of approximately 77,000 people, with Catalan being the official language. The country has a rich cultural heritage influenced by its neighbors, particularly Catalonia.

World Bank governance: rule of law 76th percentile, corruption control 66th percentile.

Andorra's strongest governance dimension is Rule of Law at 76/100, placing it in the top quartile globally. This reflects relatively strong confidence in contract enforcement, property rights, police, and courts.

The weakest dimension is Political Stability at 0/100. Political instability concerns may affect the overall security environment and long-term predictability.

A wide 76-point gap between the highest and lowest indicators signals deeply uneven governance. Strong performance in Rule of Law contrasts sharply with weakness in Political Stability. This kind of imbalance often means that day-to-day experiences can vary dramatically depending on which government functions are involved.

Andorra's moderate governance scores suggest travelers should prepare for some institutional inconsistency. Public services may be unreliable in certain areas, and regulatory enforcement can be uneven. Travel insurance and advance planning are recommended.

The U.S. State Department currently rates Andorra as Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions). This aligns with a governance profile that, while not without challenges, provides a baseline of institutional functioning.
