THE SMALLEST COUNTRY OF THE WORLD

The world's smallest nation is Vatican City. Vatican City is a sovereign city-state that is one-eighth the size of Central Park in New York and is surrounded by a 2-mile border with Italy. The pope is the head of the absolute monarchy that governs Vatican City. The Vatican operates media channels, mints its own currency (euros), prints its own stamps, issues passports and license plates, and has its own flag and song. Taxation is one area of government that is lacking. The Vatican receives funding from donations, stamp and memento sales, and entry fees to museums. #passionpassport #gooutside #urbanexplorer #givethanks #europe #italy
