History
Andorra started as an inside joke among cartographers sometime before 1975. According to them, it is a small country nestled between Spain and France in the Pyrenees Mountains. Eventually, a small number of particularly stupid people from Spain looked up their location on a map and discovered that they were really from Andorra, despite never having heard of such a place in their lives.
Exports
The country is principally known for its stamps, which is a stupid thing for it to be known for, since the "country" only has fifteen "residents" all of whom live within shouting distance of each other.
Geography
It has a parking lot.
Economy
Stamps. What, aren't you paying attention?
Demographics
Most Andorrans are of Spanish descent, while some are of French descent. One guy says he's from Germany, but nobody believes him.
International Recognition
The United Nations has decided to recognize Andorra, thus lending some credence to the claim that it exists, but only because they had already elected to recognize other such jokes of countries as Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. But at least Luxembourg is known as the place where General Patton is buried.
