the smallest state in the world

I read the following about Vatican City in National Geographic's "50 Places of a Lifetime" publication: "Official name: State of Vatican City. Size: Smallest state in the world. The Vatican issues its own stamps and circulates its own currency--the Vatican lira--which is legal tender throughout Italy.....In 1929 the treaty signed by the pope and Benito Mussolini pronounced the Vatican a sovereign state."

And here's what Vicenzo Saudelli, a native Roman, had to say about the place: "The thing that most impresses me about the Vatican is the wealth of the art there--not just the paintings and sculptures, but also the collections of jewels and precious metals--and, equally, the power that collected it....There is so much art that at the same time that I find myself admiring its quantity and quality, I find myself feeling somewhat angry that so much wealth was collected in one place in the name of God, when so many people in history have gone hungry."
