The Vatican
Here are some short facts:
Vatican City (văt'ikun) [key], independent state (2005 est. pop. 900), 108.7 acres (44 hectares), within the city of Rome, Italy, and the residence of the pope, who is its absolute ruler. Vatican City may be said to correspond politically to the former Papal States, but it was created as a result of the Lateran Treaty of 1929 between Pope Pius XI and King Victor Emmanuel III (negotiated by Cardinal Gasparri and Mussolini), which ended the so-called Roman Question.

State of the Vatican City.
A treaty was signed on February 11, 1929 between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Italy. The treaty was signed by Benito Mussolini and Pietro Cardinal Gasparri in behalf of King Victor Emanuel III and Pope Pius XI (b. May 31, 1857-d. Feb. 10, 1939, pope 1922-1939), respectively. The Lateran Treaty and the Concordat established the independent State of the Vatican City and granted Catholicism special status in Italy. In 1984, a new concordat between the Holy See and Italy modified certain provisions of the earlier treaty, including the position of Catholicism as the Italian state religion.

The Vatican City
It's a theocracy, ruled by the Pope, even its official language is Latin.
It actually is the world's smallest country, not one of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City Wikipedia calls it the smallest nation in the world. Don't know if that qualifies or not. Do you have a date for the agreement that would verify this?
