Thanks for watching!
Ayo
This is gonna be popular I know it
WW DISCORD LET'S GO!!
All good!
WONDERWHY DISCORD POGGGG
France: No more monarchs!
Also France: *is the co-prince of Andorra and has two monarchs in the collectivity of Wallis & Futuna*
Ahh Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un, how is your communist regime going ?
They are three kings in Wallis and Futuna, the island of Futuna is split between two kingdoms.
@@ishaansharma4325 his regime is so similar to a monarchy lol.
Have any of you met Kim more than 10 times before? Because this is the 17th time.
You again
Fun fact: In WWII, Andorra was a puppet government of a puppet government.
*visible confusion*
@@johannesziaether3916 because the dictator of France who was a puppet of the thirdREICH, what is technically the prince of Andorra
@@titanicbigship *confusion intensifies*
@@titanicbigship third REICH, not third right.
@@johannesziaether3916 that puppet state was Vichy France.
THE PLANETS HAVE ALLIGNED! WonderWhy, Real Life Lore and Oversimplified have Uploaded on the Same day!
Waiting for that CGPGrey video
@@Tytoalba777 Yeah, imagine it actually happens tho
Thanks for the tip.
I am willing to bet it was pre planned for some reason lol
Even veritasium
I did a report on Andorra in Elementary school and most of my classmates thought I made it up.
Lmao that's amusing ngl
Thank you
*It’s also the only country never to make it through a Eurovision semi-final...*
Haha love to see this here!!
their song in 2007 was pretty good, they should have qualified then...
they really deserved in 2007 & 2009
Imagine the arkwardness when the PM of Andorra meet the president of France in some European summit.
*Is he my prince and should I treat him as my superior? Is he a foreign leader and I should treat him as my equal? *
Also Goes to church in Spain and meeting the second Prince
@@Mic7cheesekase Well there isn't a need for Andorra PM to go to church in spain, but as PM he can't avoid meeting with other European leaders.
Naaah, I shall treat him like any foriegn leader, aproach with extreme prejudice.

To your shallow mentality, that would be the outcome of your thinking.
But not for the brilliant EU officials.
The reason why Andorra exists is to provide the world with a cheap place to ski
But jokes aside the history behind the place is quite interesting. With roads, trains, and an airport in neighboring Spain now connecting once isolated Andorra to other countries, a focus on tourism, the legalization of political parties, and the Paréage of Andorra gone, Andorra has progressed into the modern era for the better. A truly fascinating place, a country landlocked between two countries, a co-principality, and one of the oldest and richest countries in the world
You again
You’re everywhere
They both are everywhere. There's so many comments made by both of these people than you can make them as a collectable.
@@Kevinthelast Indeed
Dude, Avery, your everywhere
A next election ad in France should probably use something like this: "Go to vote because you will decide our neighbour's prince"
Heard "two princes" and immediately had a piccolo snare drum fill leading into a '90s alternative rock song pop into my head.
The song was stuck in my head pretty much the whole video
just go ahead now
Your father will disown you
"And if you want to buy me flowers just go ahead now." ... damn that's gonna stuck in my ears.
Tegridy
France: promote and export republic
Also france: still a prince
Andorra, a country which has one head of state democratically elected by one foreign country, and another appointed by a different foreign country (the Vatican)
Macron looks like a prince though
The Bishop of Urgell and the Pope are the only religious leader and a monarch at the same time
Imagine being Bishop of Urgell before becoming Pope. Being Monarch of two different countries, not at the same time
Queen Elizabeth II is too. As is Emperor Naruhito
In christian world.
England is in the Christian world
@@joshuahillerup4290 The English monarch is a head but really doesn’t mean anything ecclesiastically
No one belived me when i said Macron is a prince in my school 😢🤴
Thor sigh 😟✊
When WonderWhy uploads on the same day as OverSimplified, we’ve hit the jackpot
LOL YEAH!
and rll
WAIT. OVERSIMPLIFIED UPLOADED?!
@@Evzone1821 yes napeoleonic wars
@@Evzone1821 it's number 1 in trending too!
That Means That He's A President And A...A Royal Prince? That's Amazing But Odd At The Same Time...
This was a great vid. Very informative about a interesting little country. I'm interested in all the small places, and this video is a great service.
france : we are republic! No monarchs
also france: is run by a monarch of another country.
Man, I love videos like this! Thank you for the info!
You learned me something about my own country. Well done guy !
Thank you for this magnificent video! I learned something I didn't know and I am grateful for this! 🙏
So France always elects a monarch.
This reminds me of Crusader Kings. Inheritance of titles can be complicated and messy sometimes :)🤔🤔🤔
It gives presidents a decent royal title.
@@mangonel I mean 17% of the French population wouldn't mind having a monarchy.
@@mangonel the house of Bourbon-Orléans would legally hold the Crown
@@mangonel Nothing wrong with royals.
@@royale7620 Nothing wrong with *competent* royals
@@normalbird1139 except the incompetent ones who normally follow them.
This channel quality is so good
Thank you so much
I did not know that Andorra has Duty free shops🙂🙂
A WonderWhy notification is like a belated Birthday or Christmas gift.
Quite literally a birthday gift for me ;)
@@prometheus7387 Happy Birthday
French people when they realise the President is the Prince of Andorra: *It is head chopping time*
Nice video man
Always worth the wait for your videos. I look forward to the next one.
You're back!
Doing the maths, the ratio of people to MPs is 2750:1. That's far more representative than some countries I could mention.
Awesome video.
Nice info 👍👍👍
Thank Yooouuuu for new video
great video! happy to see you're back!! :D
The fuck, why didn't I get a notification about a new WonderWhy video, love this channel.
Great video
Good job!
Hey you’re back, keep up the good work!
Man idk why but i like your narration very much.

You have to love Europe, where else do you have a nation with two foreign sovereigns: one who is a bishop and the other a foreign head of state?

HES BACK
I NEVER expected this notification today.
You are best!
I was literally wondering about this, what a pleasant coincidence!
Hey, You're back
Fun fact: Andorra has the oldest international border than any other country in the world.
I CANNOT believe that I checked both your and Oversimplified’s channel in the exact moment you had just posted a video.
Yay he is back
4:43, you can kinda hear how, disturbed (?), He is when saying, "Anyway."
What if a female was elected to be the President of France? Would they then be considered a Co-Princess of Andorra?
No chances of that ever happening
@@jeanpelletier206 Why not? I’m curious.
@@jeanpelletier206 France is a democratic republic. What is wrong with having a female president if constitutional monarchs like Norway, Uk, had female prime ministers?
@@cheerbozz UK did have females, but they were BAD (Thatcher) or mediocre (May).
@@cheerbozz Marine Le Pen?
Henry IV also began the Bourbon dynasty
Ireland played them recently and at one point we were 1-0 down. I would’ve given up if we lost to a FUCKING PRINCIPALITY
I wonder if Andorra would change its constitution to avoir being rulled by Le Pen if she ever wins french presidency...
No wonder he's so handsome
girl what
d4ljns the president of France is handsome.
What
Eu acho lindo o presidente mais lindo ❤ que já vi ❤❤❤❤❤esse da França
O presidente da França um senhor lindo 😍 o presidente mais lindo que já vi ❤❤❤
Beyond excited to see a video by you!! What a gift

@@nicoislazy well you could always make an account! Up to you :)
Dude, I'm so glad you're alive! Also, awesome video! ^_^
Going by their respective sobriquets, I can't help wondering whether Philip the Handsome was somewhat out of Joanna the Mad's league.
Andorra could have had a co-princess if the current president had lost the election.
Guess who's back back again
When the world needs him he returned
hi
I watched one of his older videos last night and I said we need and new wonder why video and boom lookat that
This is epic guys
3:33 Joanna the MAD and Philip the HANDSOME?!😂😂😂
It is actually Joanna Trastamara and Philip Habsburg.
Nice detail bordering Llívia from France
See you next season!

Random video about Andorra 😊
Macron look a princess. Lol Regards from Brazil!
4:43 ANYWAY… 😂
Also they use the euro even though they're not in the EU
One two princes kneel before you
That's what I said now
Princes, Princes who adore you
Just go ahead now...
Suprise to be sure but a welcome one

(Not realy but it would be funny :D )
