| Tlo historyczne | For 715 years, from 1278 to 1993, Andorans lived under a unique co-principality, ruled by French and Spanish leaders (from 1607 onward, the French chief of state and the Spanish bishop of Urgel). In 1993, this feudal system was modified z the titular heads of state retained, but the government transformed into a parliamentary democracy. Long isolated and impoverished, mountainous Andora achieved considerable prosperity since Swiat War II through its tourist industry. Many immigrants (legal and illegal) are attracted to the thriving economy z its lack of income taxes. | For 715 years, from 1278 to 1993, Andorans lived under a unique co-principality, ruled by French and Spanish leaders (from 1607 onward, the French chief of state and the Spanish bishop of Urgel).

| Ekonomia | Tourism, the mainstay of Andora's tiny, well-to-do economy, accounts dla more than 80% of Produkt krajowy brutto. An estimated 11.6 million tourists visit annually, attracted by Andora's duty-free status and by its summer and winter resorts. Andora's comparative advantage has recently eroded as the economies of neighboring Francja and Hiszpania have been opened up, providing broader availability of goods and lower tariffs. The banking sector, z its partial "tax haven" status, also contributes substantially to the economy. Agricultural production is limited - only 2% of the land is arable - and most food has to be imported. The principal livestock activity is sheep raising. Manufacturing output consists mainly of cigarettes, cigars, and furniture. Andora is a member of the EU Customs Union and is treated as an EU member dla trade w manufactured goods (no tariffs) and as a non-EU member dla agricultural products. | Tourism, the mainstay of Andora's tiny, well-to-do economy, accounts dla roughly 80% of Produkt krajowy brutto.
