Overview <p>The tiny principality of Andorra is located in the high mountains of the Pyrenees between France and Spain. </p> <p>The mainstay of the highly-prosperous economy is tourism, accounting for about 80% of GDP. An estimated 10 million people visit each year, drawn by winter sports, a warm summer climate and duty-free goods.</p> <p>The country&#039;s banking sector enjoys partial tax-haven status. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17028050">Full Article</a> <p>More than 7,000 islands make up the Philippines, but the bulk of its fast-growing population lives on just 11 of them. </p> <p>Although endowed with many fine beaches and a growing tourism industry, much of the country is mountainous and prone to earthquakes and eruptions from around 20 active volcanoes. It is often buffeted by typhoons and other storms. </p> <p>The Philippines - a Spanish colony for more than three centuries and named after a 16th century Spanish king - was taken over by the US in the early 20th century after a protracted rebellion against rule from Madrid. Spanish and US influences remain strong, especially in terms of language, religion and government.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15521300">Full Article</a>
