Yes, it is.
It has its own passports, its own embassies throughout the world, its own postage stamps, its own everything -- even its own army (the Swiss Guards) and its own head of state (the Pope).
In terms of geography and in terms of population, it's the smallest country in the world.

Vatican city is a country. It's the smallest country in the world.
If you divide the wealth by the number of residents, it's also the wealthiest country in the world. Surprise surprise.

Yes. If you have enough power and money, you can get yourself a country. I'm sure Bill Gates could buy an island, fix it up, and get it mapped as a small country.
