Andorra: A Country Without an Army or Its Own President
Andorra, a small country nestled in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain, has a unique status when it comes to its military and leadership structure. In terms of defense, Andorra does not possess a standing army or any armed forces. Instead, its military defense is based on treaties it has signed with its neighboring countries, Spain and France. One such treaty is the 1993 Treaty of Good Neighborliness, Friendship, and Cooperation. There is only a minuscule volunteer army in Andorra, but its role is strictly ceremonial.
