Andorra is a small, landlocked country in the Pyrenees mountains with an approximate population of 77,000, and has experienced relatively steady growth over the years. However, due to its small size and strict immigration policies, the population growth rate has been modest. Given its compact size, Andorra has a relatively low population density. The population is distributed across several parishes (administrative divisions), with the majority concentrated in the capital city, Andorra la Vella, and the city of Escaldes-Engordany. Andorra has a unique immigration policy that is closely controlled. It grants residency and citizenship through specific criteria, often related to employment or business ownership in the country. As a result, the immigrant population is relatively small compared to the native population. Andorra is known for its cultural diversity, with a mix of native Andorrans and immigrants from various countries. The official language is Catalan, and the country is predominantly Roman Catholic.
