One Of The Smallest Countries In The World

There are few smallest countries in the world. But the one of the smallest countries that I am going to talk about it is Vatican City. Vatican City is located at Rome, Italy. According to Wikipedia, Vatican City has an area of approximately 44 hectares, and there are about 850 Italian and Swiss permanent residents, along with lay workers from Catholic communities around the world. Most of the people in Vatican City speak Italian and Latin. This makes Vatican City the smallest independent state in the world by both area and population. It is also the governmental capital of the Catholic Church. Although Vatican City is a small country but it is one of the most visited countries, because it is in the middle of Rome and packed with some of the most beautiful churches and museums. Vatican City is an independent country, but it is completely surrounded by the city of Rome. The Vatican City is a Catholic sate whose population is virtually 100 percent Roman Catholic. There is a belief in heaven and hell and in just rewards or punishments for one's actions on earth. There is a belief in a supreme triune God, and various saints are honored. The final judgment and resurrection of the dead are tenets of the faith.
