Vatican  City (Città D.Vaticano) is now covered by the small VATICAN  STATE. Vatican City is a seat of the Roman catholic church  and  enclave in  Rome.  Situated  on  the  west  band  of  Tibera river. This is the world's  smallest  independent  nation - state.  The  Vatican prints own stamps. The  city has own security service called "pontifical carabinieri" and a real police force : the famous SWISS GUARDS, who since 16th century  still wear the same uniforms that were probably designed by Michelangelo 
The border of  the state with a population  that  can be numbered
