Vatican City, the world's smallest country at about 100 acres, is enclosed by a two-mile border within Rome. Established in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty, it has fewer than 1,000 residents, all Catholic. Despite its size—one-eighth of Central Park—it boasts nine miles of museums, the largest church ever built, and its own football team. Citizenship is granted only by appointment, not by birth.
