The Vatican City is a sovereign city state. The Pope is its Head of State just by being the Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a real country, it's made up, that is what I am saying. Did I really have to spell that out or could you not have inferred it from my post?

Chris_Sleeps Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 It's not a real country, it's made up At a vague prediction, someone will point to it on a map. It does exist, but it isn't really a state, but they call it a state, so it is a state. The odd dichotomies of the human race. Personally, i'm looking forward to Peter Tatchell's documentary tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingjimmy Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 It is a Sovereign City State. Is there something about that you do not understand? No, I understand it perfectly. It's just that I'm aware that it is a made up sovereign state that consists purely of priests and guards. It's not a real country, being unlike every other country in the world. It's an organisation, a company, a business that owns some land in Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Other City States include Monaco and Singapore. I'm not playing the game. If you say it exists then it exists. Where is the Vatican? It's in Vatican City. Where is that? Rome. Italy? Yeah. So it's in Italy? No. I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
