How simple can it be for a small city to become an independent nation?
Vatican City is a theocratic state, its predecessor could be traced back to the "Papal States" 1500 years ago, controlled by the Western Vatican, until eventually, the human spiritual aura was exhausted, and Dao fell silent. Many experts of the Vatican have since entered the "Saint Hall" to seclude themselves, and the "Papal States" were absorbed and disappeared.
In 1870, the Vatican announced the dissolution of the Papal States, and established the Vatican City State. Western countries recognized Vatican City as a sovereign state, with sovereignty belonging to the Vatican.
