parliamentary coprincipality

Andorra is a small, landlocked microstate in the eastern Pyrenees between France and Spain, with a unique governing arrangement as a parliamentary co-principality jointly headed by two co-princes โ€” the President of France (currently Emmanuel Macron) and the Bishop of Urgell in Spain. Day-to-day government is run by an elected parliament and a head of government, Xavier Espot Zamora of the Democrats for Andorra. Catalan is the sole official language, reflecting deep cultural and economic ties to neighboring Catalonia and Spain, while France provides the other half of its sovereign framework. Though not an EU member, Andorra maintains close relations with the bloc and has pursued an association agreement; its main fault lines are its dependence on its two large neighbors for security, trade, and external representation.
