Andorra

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

Andorra, officially the Principality of Andorra, is a sovereign landlocked country located in the Iberian Peninsula, sandwiched between France and Spain. He is known for his slippery mountains and ski resorts. 🎿

History

Andorra was ruled by a unique co-principality arrangement that endured for centuries, with successive counts and bishops inheriting their roles. Andorra remained relatively isolated and undeveloped throughout much of its history, its economy based primarily on agriculture and shepherding.

In the 20th century, Andorra began to modernize and open up to the outside world. Tourism became increasingly important to its economy, as visitors flocked to the picturesque mountain landscapes for skiing and hiking.

Anthem

El gran Carlemany
Catalan English
El gran Carlemany, mon pare,

dels alarbs em deslliurà,
i del cel vida em donà
de Meritxell, la gran Mare.

Princesa nasquí i pubilla
entre dos nacions, neutral;
sols resto l'única filla
de l'imperi Carlemany.

Creient i lliure onze segles,
creient i lliure vull ser.
Siguin els furs mos tutors
𝄆 i mos Prínceps defensors! 𝄇

The great Charlemagne, my father,

liberated me from the Saracens,
and from heaven he gave me life
of Meritxell, the great Mother.

I was born a princess and heiress
between two nations, neutral;
I am the only remaining daughter
of the Carolingian Empire.

Faithful and free for eleven centuries,
Faithful and free I want to be.
May the laws be my tutors
𝄆 and my Princes defenders! 𝄇
