=== Other European constitutional monarchies === The [[Andorra|Principality of Andorra]], the [[Belgium|Kingdom of Belgium]], the [[Danish Realm|Kingdom of Denmark]], the [[Luxembourg|Grand Duchy of Luxembourg]], the [[Kingdom of the Netherlands]], the [[Norway|Kingdom of Norway]], the [[Spain|Kingdom of Spain]], and the [[Sweden|Kingdom of Sweden]] are fully democratic states in which the monarch has a limited or largely ceremonial role. Some countries have established a Christian religion as the official church. This is the Lutheran form of [[Protestantism]] in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, while Andorra is a [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] country. Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands have no official state religion. Luxembourg, which is predominantly Roman Catholic, has five so-called ''officially recognized cults of national importance'' (Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Greek Orthodoxy, Judaism, and Islam), a status which gives those religions some privileges like the payment of a state salary to their priests. Andorra is unique among all existing monarchies, as it is a [[diarchy]], with the co-princes being shared by the [[president of France]] and the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Urgell|bishop of Urgell]]. This situation, based on historical precedence, has created a peculiar situation among monarchies, as: * neither of the co-princes is of Andorran descent; * one is elected by citizens of a foreign country (France), but not by Andorrans as they cannot vote in the French presidential elections; and * the other, the bishop of Urgell, is appointed by a foreign head of state, the pope.
