Vatican City


So I'm pretty sure that everyone is familiar with Vatican City. But I had no idea that it is an independent state and the smallest in the world with a population of 800. It has it's own postal system, police, government, and even issues its own passports!

We weren't allowed to take pictures in the Sistine Chapel :(
