Andorra

The Principality of Andorra is a small state in Western Europe; located in the Pyrenees, it borders France in the north and Spain in the south.

It is the 6th smallest country in Europe with an area of 468 km2 and a population of about 75,000 inhabitants.

History

The government system is based on a head of state, and two sharing representatives, called Co-princes. This peculiarity stems from the agreement called “Pareages” (1278), between the count of Foix (France) and the bishop of La Seu d’Urgell (Spain).
These two characters of medieval origins, have evolved and are now respectively the President of the French Republic and the Bishop of La Seu d’Urgell. They represent the Andorran people in a joint and indivisible way.

Catalan is the official language of Andorra

On March 14th, 1993 Andorra’s first democratic constitution was signed, being the basis of the current legal and regulatory institution governing the country.
This constitution describes the General Council as the supreme body which exercises the legislative power, and its members, the General Councillors, are elected by universal suffrage for a 4 year term.
Catalan is the official language of Andorra. Nevertheless, due to the diversity of nationalities of the resident population, other languages such as French, Spanish and Portuguese are also widely spoken.
