About Andorra
Andorra is a small, landlocked country located in the Pyrenees mountains between Spain and France. It has an area of about 181 square miles and a population of about 77,000 people. Andorra is a parliamentary democracy with two co-princes, the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell in Spain, who serve as joint heads of state. The country has a high standard of living and a stable economy, with a focus on tourism and banking. It is not a member of the European Union, but it does use the euro as its official currency and has close economic and political ties with both France and Spain. Andorra has a long history of neutrality and has not been involved in any major international conflicts.
Geography & terrain
Landlocked, no coastline. Entirely mountainous, tucked high in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, with an alpine climate of cold winters and mild summers. Its steep, enclosed terrain makes large-scale invasion impractical, and the country's small size and natural isolation have long kept it outside major conflicts.
About Lithuania
Lithuania is a country located in northeastern Europe, on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. It is bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to the southwest. The country has a population of about 2.8 million people, and its capital and largest city is Vilnius.
Lithuania gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1990 and has since become a member of the European Union and NATO. The country has a parliamentary democracy and a mixed economy that is heavily dependent on exports. The main industries in Lithuania include manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism.
Lithuania has a history of foreign occupation, including by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany during World War II. In recent years, it has faced challenges related to its relations with Russia and its efforts to diversify its energy sources away from dependence on Russian natural gas. Lithuania has also sought to strengthen its ties with the West and has actively participated in regional and international organizations such as the EU and NATO.
Geography & terrain
Mostly flat to gently rolling lowlands, dotted with forests, lakes, and rivers, with a short belt of coastal dunes in the west. Humid continental climate with maritime influence near the coast. Has a Baltic Sea coastline. The flat, open landscape offers little natural cover, historically leaving the country exposed to overland invasion across the North European Plain.

Solo scenario: Andorra vs Lithuania
Battle narrative
Initial phase
Lithuania's larger military budget and stronger air power give it an advantage in the initial stages of the conflict, with the ability to target key military positions and infrastructure.
Force composition
Lithuania can also call on significantly more personnel, counting both active-duty and reserve forces. Lithuania's advantage extends to naval power as well.
Ground campaign
Andorra's terrain could make a rapid ground campaign difficult: Its steep, enclosed terrain makes large-scale invasion impractical, and the country's small size and natural isolation have long kept it outside major conflicts. Andorra la Vella would likely be a focal point of the campaign: The capital and only significant town, occupying the country's main valley and controlling its limited road access to France and Spain. Lithuania's terrain could make a rapid ground campaign difficult: The flat, open landscape offers little natural cover, historically leaving the country exposed to overland invasion across the North European Plain. Suwalki Gap would likely be a focal point of the campaign: The narrow land corridor between Kaliningrad and Belarus that is Lithuania's and NATO's most exposed chokepoint on the alliance's eastern flank. Lithuania's larger population could also support a prolonged resistance.
Prolonged conflict
Lithuania's stronger economy could help sustain military operations in a prolonged conflict. Occupying Andorra outright would likely prove costly given its terrain.
Overall assessment
Lithuania enters this matchup as the stronger side on paper, with roughly a 86.3% probability of winning. That advantage would still need to be converted into an actual battlefield result against Andorra, which real conflicts rarely guarantee.
