For CWI we had to do research on a country in Europe. I chose to have Vatican City.
The history of Vatican City is very religious. The Lateran Established the country of Vatican City in 1929. The country became it's own independent country in 1929, but the first church was actually built on the land of Vatican City in the year 326. When the church was built on the land there was a huge argument about where the church was built. Apparently the church was supposively built on the tomb of St. Peter.
Geography in Vatican City is the same as Rome, Italy. They are in the same country. Vaticans cities summers are Hot and Dry. They Usually start sometime in May and end in August. Their Spring and Winter are the same. Winters and Springs in Vatican City is Rainy and has a mild climate. Winter lasts about September to the Middle of May. The main climate that they witness all year long is a Mediterranean climate. Vatican city is surrounded by a wall. Inside the wall is over 100 acres.
The Economy in Vatican City is quite interesting! It's economy is based on Tourists, Museum profits, and the selling of their postage stamps. Vatican City has one major bank! What's cool about this bank is that it has a ATM, but has instructions in Latin. That ATM could be the only ATM in the world that has instructions in Latin.
Transportation is one of the greatest in the world. Vatican City has no airport, and no major highway. They do have a heliport and a Railway. Vatican City is mostly just sidewalks, and plazas. Even though they do have a Railway, it's usually hauling freight. Sometimes this railway will have passengers on it, but not all the time.
The language in Vatican City is whatever you want. Most people speak German, French, and Italian. Depends on what country you are from. Even though there are tons of different languages the main language people speak is Italian.
