Want to know what goes around the smallest country in the world? Vatican City, just a small piece of land stretched over 0.19 square miles, surrounded by Rome. The Vatican is an independent nation that issues its passports, prints its euros, makes its own stamps and license plates, and has its own flag and an anthem! - anything you could think of that makes a country separate.

However, the country's government executives miss out on one foundation, which is taxation. They generate revenue through souvenir sales, museum fees and stamps etc. Nevertheless, this place can be moving for some individuals due to a number of its characteristics, a few of which are outlined below.
 

The Vatican city is based solely on religion; therefore, it is considered holy. It has been devoted exclusively to God since 1377. It is mostly familiarized as the principal residence for Roman Catholic Heads, also known as Popes, who believe that Jesus determined Peter to be the leader of disciples. The believers of this ideology stop by the Vatican to listen to the pope's sermons weekly at St. Peter's basilica, which leads us to our next interesting subject, famous places.
 

The city's most visited places include St. Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel and Vatican Palace Highlights, etcetera. With Vatican's tourism numbers escalating, they welcome around five million people over the course of a year for visitation. These numbers mainly include Catholics, as they usually come to celebrate their faith or to meet the pope.
 

One thing you'd definitely be amazed about is the fact that Vatican city does not have its own army; instead, they have a de facto military provided by the armed forces of the Holy See.
 
To date, Vatican City is a neutral state and has not engaged in war with any nation since its emergence in 1929. However, they were exposed to military invasion through bombing during World War II while defending Vatican property in Rome.
