Andorra

In the Pyrenees, between France and Spain, sits a tiny, autonomous principality called Andorra. In addition to being known for its duty-free shopping and ski resorts, it is also known for being a tax haven. Capital In Andorra la Vella, Meritxell Avenue is home to several shopping centers, jewelry boutiques, and other businesses. The historic neighborhood of Barri Antic is home to the Romanesque Santa Coloma Church with its round bell tower. Although Andorra lacks a real army, it has protection agreements in place with several European nations, notably France. Its little volunteer army merely acts as a show of might. A paramilitary group that works with the national police is called the GIPA.

The little nation of Andorra was brave enough to declare war on Germany in 1914 and enter the so-called Great War despite never having a properly organized military. With an army of only 10 soldiers, the nation did not accomplish much and was not regarded seriously. Andorra was not invited to the discussions for the Versailles Peace Treaty despite having formally chosen a side. The Andorran National Police took the place of the men's corps often referred to as an army in 1931. About 240 men make up this force, which was formed to protect the peace and has been trained to free hostages. If you're a male who has a gun, you must join the police force.
