From Newton, about the patron saints: I can't believe the Andorran Security Forces have their own patron saint. About five years ago, my brother James and my dad drove through Andorra on their way to Morocco and got to see some annual ceremony where the six members of the Security Force (for all I know, THE six members) fire their guns into the air. The six bullets for this ceremony famously constitute Andorra's entire annual military budget.

I guess this is where we get to see the true value of having patron saints. Andorra doesn't need a massive security budget. All they have to do is call on their patron saint. "Saint Mary, Help of Christians, there's a ravening hoard of visigoths at the border; take care of that, would you?" Then they can go back to playing bocce ball, or whatever the Andorran equivilant is.

You could also argue that Andorra is safe in having a pretty small security force as nobody knows where it is nor particularly cares. I kind of see it as the Delaware of Europe, but with better scenery.
