🇦🇩Andorra Political Stability: 60.5/100

Andorra is a small, mountainous country located in the eastern Pyrenees, characterized by rugged terrain and an average elevation of 1,996 meters. The highest peak is Coma Pedrosa at 2,946 meters, and the country features three narrow valleys that converge into the Gran Valira river. Andorra has a diverse climate with alpine, continental, and oceanic influences, leading to significant snowfall in winter and cooler summers.

Andorra has a population of approximately 77,000 people, with a significant number of residents being foreign nationals. The official language is Catalan, but Spanish, French, and Portuguese are also widely spoken.

World Bank governance: corruption control 66th percentile, political stability 92nd percentile.

Andorra's strongest governance dimension is Political Stability at 92/100, placing it in the top quartile globally. This reflects a relatively low likelihood of politically motivated violence or instability.

The weakest dimension is Rule of Law at 0/100. Weaknesses in rule of law can affect contract enforcement, property rights, and the reliability of police and judicial systems.

A wide 92-point gap between the highest and lowest indicators signals deeply uneven governance. Strong performance in Political Stability contrasts sharply with weakness in Rule of Law. 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.
