Vatican City — formally
State of the Vatican City, or Vatican City State — is a
tiny sovereign state whose territory consists of a landlocked
enclave within the city of Rome, Italy. The entire state is about
44 Hectares (108.7 acres) and thus is a European microstate. It
is the smallest independent nation in the world. Since it is
governed by the Bishop of Rome (the Pope), its government can be
described as ecclesiastical and the highest state functionaries
are in fact clergymen. It is the sovereign territory of the Holy
See (Latin:Sancta Sedes) and the location of the Apostolic
Palace—the Pope's official residence—and the Roman
Curia. Thus, although the principal ecclesiastical seat of the
Holy See (Basilica of St. John Lateran) is located in Rome
itself, the Vatican City can be said to be the governmental
capital of the Roman Catholic Church of both East and
West.
