What’s that landscape of idyllic valleys nestled on the Pyrenees mountain range? Is it a Spain? Is it a France? No, it’s the 16th smallest country in the world, the Principality of Andorra. Join me in Today’s Geographics, as we explore some useful and pointless facts about this charming country. We will learn about Andorra’s unique system of government, its history and about that one time when a con artist became its King.

A con artist was twice elected here.

The Mouse That Roared.

I may be one of the few Americans who knows where that beautiful little jewel Andorra is, and even fewer who have been to Andorra. I almost lost my life when my Peugeot fishtailed on a snow-packed road towards the edge of a high cliff in the Pyrennes (no guardrails). Only God knows how the car stopped inches away from going over to certain death.

I lived to buy a small souvenir apple made of alabaster and jade at a small shop there which I have to this day, half a century later. Still wish I had bought the silver lamé ski jacket, though.

It's true what they say that your entire life passes before your eyes when you're facing death.
