The Vatican is the smallest fully independent nation-state in the whole world

This area was chosen because Rome was leveled after a fire in A.D. 64 and Emperor Nero executed St. Peter and other Christian scapegoats at the base of Vatican Hill, where they were buried in a necropolis. Vatican has its own passports, laws, bank, library etc.
