The official name of Switzerland is the Swiss Confederation, and it is a federal republic. Jean-Henri Dunant (Henry Dunant) was born in Geneva, and he is one of the founders of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Andorra is sandwiched between France and Spain, and it is co-governed by the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, who is in Spain. Although Andorra has accommodations for a few helicopters, there are no airports here. In fact, its closest airports are in France and Spain. Therefore, those desiring to visit this country must travel through France or Spain and then travel by land, to get here. Perhaps due to sharing governmental powers, this country also shares the postal system. France’s post boxes in this country are yellow, while Spain’s are red.
