The Country You Need God's Permission to Enter

Vatican City: 0.17 square miles where the Pope has absolute power and citizenship is granted by divine appointment only. This is the world's smallest country where no one is born, 453 citizens can lose their status instantly, and membership expires when you quit your job. Welcome to Earth's most exclusive nation - ruled by God's representative for over 2,000 years.
Eight hundred people live here. Zero are born here. No hospitals, no maternity wards, no birth certificates. Every citizen arrives from somewhere else and leaves when the Pope - or God - decides they're done. This is Europe's only absolute monarchy where one man controls everything: laws, citizenship, justice. No parliament. No democracy. Just divine authority.
Protected by 135 Swiss Guards (must be Catholic, unmarried, Swiss military veterans) in Renaissance costumes, Vatican City owns art worth hundreds of billions. The Sistine Chapel. The Pietà. Raphael's masterpieces. All visible for €17. But living here? That requires a calling from above.

🛡️ The Swiss Guard:
Must be Swiss, Catholic, male, unmarried, ages 19-30, minimum 5'8" tall, Swiss military trained. They've protected Popes since 1506. Those Renaissance uniforms? They hide modern combat training.
💰 The Wealth:
Priceless art worth hundreds of billions. The Sistine Chapel ceiling alone? Impossible to value. Vatican Museums house treasures that would make any nation jealous. Yet official GDP per capita is only $21,000 - a meaningless number for a country that doesn't operate like any other economy.
📍 The Reality:
You can visit. Walk through St. Peter's Square. Tour the museums. See the Pope during Wednesday audiences. Take selfies with Swiss Guards. But living here permanently? That's between you and God. And God's not accepting applications.
This is Vatican City - smaller than a mall, more powerful than most nations, and closed to everyone except those chosen by divine will. Where temporary citizenship, absolute monarchy, and priceless art create the ultimate exclusive club. Where 20,000 tourists visit daily but only 800 can sleep inside the walls.
Discover the country where permission comes from God, citizenship expires like a contract, and belonging requires heavenly intervention.
