When you take geography class, you know that the Vatican is the smallest country in the world, so how small is it? Let's take a look.
The area of the Vatican is 0.44 square kilometers, what is the concept of this size, that is, it is almost as large as Tiananmen Square, with a population of about 1400 people, but the permanent population is only about 540 people, mainly Italians. The official languages are Italian and Latin. Religion is Catholicism. The territory includes St. Peter's Square, St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican Palace and Vatican Museums. The land is roughly triangular, and with the exception of St. Peter's Square, located southeast of the city, the border is marked by the ancient walls of the Vatican.
The Vatican is a famous pocket country in the world. As a papal state, the Vatican is not only small in population, but also small in size. There are only 600 people in the country, and only 32 women! Mainly because the Vatican, as a famous tourist country, attracts many tourists every year. As the number of tourists increases, many people in the Vatican will choose to intermarry with outsiders. But in order to increase the domestic population, many children will stay in the Vatican after marriage, which promotes the reproduction of the Vatican. Even so, the country's population is still small, of course, this is also related to its land size. However, people's incomes are not low, which also attracts many interracial people to settle down.
The Vatican is also a rare country in the world, China. That is, the Vatican is surrounded by Italy, the Vatican has only one helicopter place, there is no large airport, so in and out of the Vatican, are from Italy. The vast majority of the Vatican's more than 800 people are clergy. More than 300 of them are diplomats, and the Vatican is represented in more than 170 countries and territories around the world. In addition, the Vatican has no army, only nearly a hundred guards, nearly a hundred administrative personnel, and only a few dozen civilians.
Welcome to the discussion: If the Vatican is so small and does not have its own army, or the geographical location of China, then why has it been able to exist peacefully to this day?
