Andorra
The Principality of Andorra is located between the southwest European countries of France and Spain. The country is so mountainous that farm production must be supplemented by food imports for an otherwise well-to-do population. Typical contributions include questions about the country's duty free shopping, French and Spanish influenced culture, summer and winter tourist resorts, and tax haven banking.

Why have Andorra's boundaries changed little?
little is an understatement
actually they are said to have changed not at all since they were loosely created in 1278
for in fact they have never been formally agreed
& are merely traditional
such an unusual arrangement is not only possible but durable because the frontiers follow the natural features that pretty much enclose & isolate the high valley state of andorra from the powers on either side of the pyrennees
& also because the existence of a marchland or neutral zone has been of perceived value to all 3 parties thru the centuries
& the remarkable result is that a country can exist without any bilateral boundary demarcation except for the single franco spanish marker at the portella blanca tripoint
in which andorra was evidently not even a party
otherwise andorran borders are marked only unilaterally by andorra
by crude iron posts
with such casual anonymous & undemonstrative rather than conventionally maintained boundaries
the livin is truly easy
but it is just an accidental luxury or blessing of geography really
