Government

With a parliamentary democracy since March 1993, Andorra retains its chiefs of state as a co-principality: the two princes are the President of France and Bishop of Seu d'Urgell, Spain. Its legal system is mixed, combining civil and customary law with the influence of canon (religious) law. The constitution was drafted 1991, approved by referendum 14 March 1993, and effective 28 April 1993. Independence dates to 1278, when Andorra formed under the joint sovereignty of the French Count of Foix and the Spanish Bishop of Urgell. Our Lady of Meritxell Day, 8 September (1278), is the national holiday.

Flag and symbols

Three vertical bands—blue, yellow, and red—form the flag; yellow is slightly wider and centers the coat of arms. The coat of arms features a quartered shield with emblems of Urgell, Foix, Bearn, and Catalonia. The motto reads "VIRTUS UNITA FORTIOR" (Strength United is Stronger), meaning the flag combines the blue and red French colors with the red and yellow of Spain to symbolize Franco-Spanish protection. The red cow is a national symbol.
