The Principality of Andorra is a small, mountainous, European country
(population 70,000) in the Pyrenees, between France and Spain.
Historically jointly governed by representatives of both countries,
since 1993 it has been an independent democracy.
In July 1997, the University of Andorra was established. The
number of students makes it impossible for the University of Andorra
to develop a full academic program, and it serves principally as a
center for virtual studies, connected to Spanish and French
universities.
Until recently, Andorra's political system had no clear division of
powers into executive, legislative, and judicial branches. A
constitution was ratified and approved in 1993. The constitution
establishes Andorra as a sovereign parliamentary democracy that
retains as its heads of state two co-princes.
