Independent state in the Pyrenees mountains, between France and Spain, that is neither a republic or a monarchy. Governed jointly by the President of France and the Spanish Bishop of Urgel, Andorra is the last surviving remnant of the feudal system that was medieval Europe. Governed by both France and Spain since 1278. Postal services were established by Spain in 1928 and by France in 1931, each administration issuing its own stamps.

Currency: both the currency of France and Spain are used, ergo 1 French Franc = 100 centimes and 1 Spanish Peseta = 100 centimos

Capital: Andorra La Vella Population: (1997 estimate) 63,500
