Andorra¶

Andorra is governed partly from abroad, on purpose: one of its two co-princes is a bishop on the far side of the border, the other the president of France. A state whose form rests on two foreign offices is a poor place to call a foreign tie disloyal, and the first steps of the historical record find little to hold. The softer place is the valley’s money. A small financial centre lives on the goodwill of larger regulators, and when a list arrives from abroad its banks are likely to read it before anyone asks what the law says. Self-purification here would need no politics, only a compliance desk.

The clerk’s briefs¶

Nothing filed yet¶

The clerks have found no development in the period that bears on the steps of the historical record. The hinge they would watch is the constitution itself, the one place where ties abroad are the law rather than a suspicion.
