Spain is the fourth largest country in Europe and a member of the European Union.

It has a monarchy, and in 2014 King Juan Carlos I abdicated so his then 46-year-old son Felipe VI could take the throne. Felipe's 12-year-old daughter Leonor is next in line.

 

Socialist Pedro Sánchez has been Spain's Prime Minister since June 2018. He hopes to "reinstate dialogue" with the Catalan independence movement, which wants to declare the region of Catalonia independent from the rest of Spain.
