The flag of
Andorra is based on the flags of France and Spain, the two
states that protect the independence of the small state. The
design of vertical bars is taken from the French Tricolore, as
is the blue and red.
Yellow and red are taken from the
Spanish and Catalan flags; from 1806 to 1866, Andorra's flag had
been a horizontal bicolor of yellow and red. The motto in the
coat of arms in the middle stripe Virtus Unita Fortior
means "Strength United is Stronger".
