Basic Facts

Capital: Vatican City

Vatican City is the smallest country in the world, with an area of 110 acres (~ 0.17 miles), and a population of around 1,000. Though formally it is not sovereign, the sovereignty is held by the Holy See (I’ll talk more about the Holy See in a later post). As I mentioned previously, their government is a theocracy which basically means that a priest rule in the name of God or a god. In Vatican City, it’s the Pope. It appears that most of Vatican City is owned by the Holy See. Within Vatican City, there are both religious and cultural sites to see, as well as some of the world’s most famous paintings and sculptures. There aren’t that many restaurants in Vatican City, they’re mostly cafes or pizza restaurants.

  1. Excellent article. Hope is a two-edged sword. It can help to reduce cognitive dissonance and keep people thinking positively, but false hope can be a huge impediment causing misdirected behaviour or lack of motivation as the feeling that things will turn out fine requires no altered behaviour or actions. It would seem that without concerted effort and actions, we are destined to experience the collapse that comes with a biological species overshooting its natural carrying capacity.I don’t know if there’s an answer for even if we can focus our energies in the right direction, the fact that diminishing returns has brought down virtually every complex society that has ever existed on this planet before us requires that we rethink completely our focus on infinite growth on a finite planet.
