I'm going to migrate to another forum. It's obvious I keep annoying people with my inane threads and vacuous posts, so it's better for everyone if I leave forthwith. Perhaps I'll be able to find Toby. P.S) Vatican City is a country.
The Vatican City has been given the status of a country for purely religious reasons and no other. I'm with Cnut on this, It has no government or people of Vatican citizenship. If you call a dictator a government then well you should be ashamed.
So you agree that Vatican City is officially a country? Vatican City citizenship is awarded jus officii. The Vatican's government is a commission. And, yes, I am shameless. But I like you, Abu, so I'll offer you the Badger of Friendship.
Ponderdude you know too much about religion. you need to get out more, Badger died about two years ago along with The News, a commission is not a government, just something bequested upon you by a Dictator.
The badger is alive and kicking - A commission that governs is a government, but we don't want to get tied up in semantics ... do we? Vatican City is officially recognised as a country; I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's the way it is.
