The Principality of Andorra is a small country in southwestern Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France. It is ruled jointly by two "princes" - the Bishop of Urgell (a town in Spain) and the head of state of France (whatever his title might be).

Andorra in The Two Georges[]

Andorra was an extremely insulated member-state of the Holy Alliance, situated as it was between France and Spain, the Alliance's senior partners.[1]

Andorra in Worldwar[]

Andorra remained neutral during the aborted World War II. It was conquered by the Race's Conquest Fleet during their invasion in 1942 and became a colony of the Race.

Literary comment[]

Some speculation is required here. Andorra was not under German control when the Race arrived; ergo Germany could not assert a claim to Andorra at the Peace of Cairo. The Second Contact map does not specifically show Andorra's borders, so there is room for ambiguity.
