One of the few reasons why Vatican City (as well as San Marino) is useful to us Italians, is to mention a foreign country where we have been: When someone asks an Italian "Have you ever been abroad?", if he has hardly ever moved from home but has been to Rome or Rimini, he has the duty to say "Oh well, sure. I've been to Vatican City and also to San Marino.", and so it makes a better impression.

The Holy See (Vatican City) is not a member of the United Nations and had never applied for membership but was granted permanent non-member observer state status on April 6, 1964.

The Holy See is not the same thing as Vatican City. The Holy See is the Catholic Diocese of Rome. This video doesn't even scratch the surface of the weird things about the Vatican City-State. But one of the odd things about it is that it does not even conduct its own foreign relations. Rather, the mere fact of its existence is a sort of fig-leaf that gives other countries the excuse to continue to have diplomatic relations with the Holy See; whereas nonstate entities are not nowadays supposed to be permitted to have that kind of status in modern diplomatic law--which is why the Knights of Malta, which no longer runs a state, isn't really treated with the same dignity today.

Belgium of course. It's on every map, but as we all agree, it does not actually exist!

@@KhAnubis It's kind of a weird thing to think about, isn't it? I would figure, though, that the Vatican probably has a lot of boring minor stuff to deal with, like cleaning the one road or whatever, that the Pope can't be bothered to care about because he's too busy being head of the Catholic Church... so maybe in that sense, he is less involved in Vatican affairs and thus (in practice) less powerful in his capacity as ruler of it. But on the other hand, I can also imagine that he might delegate a lot more authority over the Vatican simply because he *has* a lot more unilateral authority to delegate,. Whereas with the Church his power is more restrained, and the systems he has to operate within are a lot more restrictive and complicated and demanding.

There are women living in Vatican City: nuns. So not all inhabitants are men, or priests. There are also cases of people being born a Vatican citizen: when a member of the Swiss guard is married (which he is allowed in his second term), his wife is allowed to live with him inside the Vatican Walls. There are documented cases (few but it has happened) of a child being born from such a marriage. That child is a born citizen of Vatican City ánd of Switzerland (because of the nationality of the parents.) It is also tradition that the child is baptized by the pope in a private ceremony.

So women and children live in the Vatican City too. There is a small school, postoffice, trainstation, drugstore and supermarket. Some children don't get behind the wall before they turn 15 years old or something. These children (and grown up adults) have the Vatican City Nationality. It's rare but there are documentaries like about the Vatican Girl Emanuela Orlandi on Netflix. You can't just go there, there is high security. But yes; men, women and children live and are born in the Vatican City.

For two weeks I got to have lunch on the grounds of the Vatican. Also because there are not as many priests or nuns many Monasteries will rent to secular people. The Superior who headed the Maronite Monastery where I was staying was able to get me a pass for Midnight Mass, I was in the front row and Pope St. John Paul II was the presider.

My pick for weirdest country would have to be the European Union. The fact that many of you are immediately thinking "That's not a country!" is precisely why. Legally, on paper, the EU is an international organization, and its members are sovereign countries, but in practice, the EU functions like a national government in many respects. The EU passes laws that all member states have to obey, its inhabitants are EU citizens with the right to travel and move within the EU as US citizens can within the United States, and the EU is financed by its citizens' tax dollars with a budget voted on by a European Parliament its citizens elect. The EU even has its own diplomatic service! I think the only reason we don't consider the EU a country is because its member states still are allowed to keep their own separate diplomatic services, militaries, seats at the UN, and Olympic teams. Even this now may change thanks to Brexit, with the secession of the EU member that has fought the hardest to keep it from becoming a "United States of Europe".

While Vatican City has a monarch, it does not have a king, similar to how Luxembourg also has a monarch but no king. According to the Vatican, the title is simply "sovereign of Vatican City."

Just to correct a small mistake. The Pope is the head of the CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Roman Catholic Church is but one of 24 Sui Iuris Churches that makes up the Catholic Communion of Churches. And not all people who are citizens and/or work within Vatican City are Roman Catholic. For example, a co-religious (I am a Maronite) serves as a judge on the Apostolic Signatura (Vatican Supreme Court).
