• Vatican City was created in 1929. Though it may seem like a very old institution, the Vatican City as an independent state hasn’t even been around 100 years. It was created on 11th February 1929 as part of the Lateran Treaty which came about because of the then-powerful Papal States’ resistance to being part of the unification of Italy in the mid-19th century.
• Vatican City is the smallest country in the world. In both area and population, Vatican City is the smallest state in the world. With an area of 49 hectares (121 acres), or 0.49 square miles. The next smallest country – Monaco, at two square miles – is more than double the size of the Vatican. The population slightly exceeds 800 people.
• Vatican City has no official language. Italian is used for official communication and much everyday communication; Swiss-German is used for commands within the Swiss Guards; and there are other languages used besides.
• It’s also the only country in the world that’s situated inside a city.
• Women make up 5.5% of Vatican City’s population. While elsewhere in the world women make up roughly half of every country’s population (49.6% worldwide), the demographics of the Vatican are “slightly” more skewed towards men.
• There are a lot of tombs inside St Peter’s Basilica. There are well over 100. Ninety-one of these are of past Popes – most recently, John Paul II. Non-Popes laid to rest here include Queen Christina of Sweden, who had to abdicate in order to convert to Catholicism; and James Stuart – Prince of Wales and pretender to the British crown.
• To gain citizenship, you have to be an employee. With no hospitals where children can be born, nobody becomes a Vatican City citizen by birth. Instead, you become a citizen once you become an employee of the tiny nation. Once you move jobs, you lose your citizenship.
• Vatican City has the highest crime rate in the world. It’s one of those statistics that’s blurred a bit by just how small the population is, but it’s technically true – the Vatican has a high crime rate. This is mainly down to misdemeanors and petty crimes by tourists and visitors – shoplifting, for example, and pickpocketing in St Peter’s Square.
• Vatican City is one of the world’s few elective monarchies.
• The obelisk in St Peter’s Square is ancient. Moved here in 1586, it was originally brought to Rome on the orders of Emperor Caligula in 37 AD.
• Part of the Vatican City isn’t in Vatican City. As per the terms of the 1929 Lateran Treaty, the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran – officially called “Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in the Lateran” – is part of the Vatican itself. Despite being four kilometers outside the tiny state, this important church is not officially part of Italy, and is presided over by the Pope.
• Vatican City is the only entire country to be classed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• There is a Vatican City flag. The national flag consists of two vertical stripes: gold (yellow) on the left; white on the right, with the keys of St Peter crossing each other and the Papal tiara above them. It was officially adopted on 7th June 1929 after the signing of the Lateran Treaty.
