🇦🇩Andorra Political Stability: 58/100

Andorra is a small, landlocked country located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains, bordered by France and Spain. It covers an area of 468 km² and has a predominantly mountainous terrain, with its highest point being Coma Pedrosa at 2,942 m. The country experiences a high-mountain Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild summers and long, cold winters, with significant variations in temperature and precipitation based on altitude.

Andorra has a population concentrated mainly along the valley floors, with Andorra la Vella being the highest capital city in Europe at an elevation of 1,023 m. The country has a rich cultural heritage influenced by its Catalan roots, and its population is primarily Catalan-speaking.

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.
