brief introduction

Vatican city state (Latin: Status Civitatis Vaticanae；; Italian: Stato della Città del Vaticano), referred to as Vatican or Vatican City, is an independent sovereign country. Because it is bordered by Italy on all sides, it is called "China". It is also the center of Catholicism in the world-the seat of the Holy See headed by the Pope. Vatican is an inland city-state (China), located in the highland of the northwest corner of the Italian capital Rome. It is the seat of the Holy See, the highest authority of the Catholic Church and the residence of the Pope. In short, Vatican City is the capital of the Vatican, that is, the country, hence the name "city-state". As the belief center of one sixth of the world's population, the Vatican is also one of the countries with the smallest territory and population in the world. Its predecessor was the papal state. Since 1929, it has been determined as a sovereign state by Rutland Treaty, accepting the direct rule of the Holy See and implementing a political system of integrating politics and religion.

Since most of the administrative organs of the Holy See are located in the Vatican City, when people use this word, it may refer to the Vatican city-state, the Vatican region, the Vatican or the Pope's residence, depending on the occasion. Although the Vatican has not promulgated any laws on the official language, Italian is the most commonly used language. Before 2002, the Vatican often used the Italian lira and the Vatican lira as the common currency in its territory. After Italy joined the euro zone, the Vatican signed a special agreement with the European Union to issue a small number of coins minted by the Vatican for circulation and collection. Although the Vatican is a small country geographically, because of its large population in the world, Catholicism has the same important influence in the political and cultural fields as the United States, China and Russia.
