In 1869, it was granted extraterritoriality by Italy. Today, it is recognized by more than 100 countries as the independent headquarters of a sovereign entity, with mutual diplomatic relations established. It even has it's own currency, the Scudo. If that isn't a country, I don't know what is! Edited August 23, 2008 by superprismatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
