Andorra,officially the Principality of Andorra,is a sovereign landlocked country on the Iberian Peninsula,in the eastern Pyrenees in Western Europe,bordered by France to the north and Spain to the south. Believed to have been created by Charlemagne,Andorra was ruled by the count of Urgell until 988,when it was transferred to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Urgell. The present principality was formed by a charter in 1278. It is currently headed by two co-princes:the Bishop of Urgell in Catalonia,Spain,and the president of France. Its capital and largest city is Andorra la Vella.
Since the establishment of sovereignty with the ratification of the constitution in 1993,Andorra has moved to become an active member of the international community. In July 1993,Andorra established its first diplomatic mission in the world to the United Nations.
