[cafe] Re: An Andorra amateur

[Glenn G Dahlem]

        Here is a suggestion about the "little" countries.  Why not write
a travel guide about them all?  Add Liechtenstein, Malta & Vatican City &
you have the 6 for Europe.  But don't forget--since the last great wave
of decolonization in the world during the 60's & 70's, there are now lots
of countries the size of Andorra & smaller.  Just a few, to illustrate
what I mean, are Islamic Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean,
Trinidad-Tobago in the Caribbean, Fiji in the S. Pacific & Sao Tome &
Principe off the coast of equatorial Africa.

        How do you get the information?  Correspond with the Ministry of
External Affairs (European term) / Secretary of State's Office (American
term) for each nation.  Also correspond with the Travel & Tourism
Ministry/Department.  For sources of maps, nutshell histories, etc. there
are two sources, the United Nations & the big atlas producing companies,
like Rand-McNally, Hammond, etc.  Another source for some of the tiny
nations is the big cruise ship lines.  Still another would be the World
Bank & World Trade Organization, as some of them, like Nauru, have had
extensive dealings with those groups.
