Population: 1,380 people, with a permanent population of only 540 people. Mostly Italians.
The official languages are Italian and Latin. Practicing Catholicism. Capital:
Vatican city. The Vatican City State (Vatican City) is the smallest country in the world today and an independent sovereign state in Europe. It is located in the northwest corner of Rome, the capital of Italy, on a triangular plateau. It is located on the right bank of the Tiber River and is bounded by the surrounding walls.
In short, the city is the capital of the Vatican, that is, the country, so it is called the "city-state". It covers an area of square kilometers, with facilities such as palaces, churches, libraries, post offices, radio stations, railway stations, and airports.
The Vatican is essentially a "country within a state" located in Italy, and unlike all other countries, there are no fields, no agriculture, no industry, no mineral resources. The necessities of life, such as running water, electricity, food, fuel, gas, etc., are all supplied by Italy. The Vatican has a railway station that connects the city of Rome by an 862-metre-long railway.
There is no industrial and agricultural production in the country, and there is no army, and there is only a small number of guards who are responsible for the security of the country and the security of the pope and the participation in religious ceremonies.
2) Ethiopia is the poorest country in the world.
Ethiopia ranks first among the poorest countries with a per capita wealth of only $1,965, and Switzerland ranks first with a per capita wealth of $648241, a difference of nearly 330 times. Madagascar, the tenth poorest country in the world, has a per capita wealth of 5,020 US dollars, and Belgium and Luxembourg, the tenth richest country in the world, have a per capita wealth of 451714 US dollars, a difference of 90 times.
Africa is still the poorest place in the world, and its poverty has a lot to do with the backwardness of its productive forces, wars and turmoil. Europe is still the richest place in the world, which has a lot to do with the fact that Europe carried out the industrial revolution earlier, and Japan, the only country in Asia to enter the top 10 richest countries in the world, has a lot to do with the Meiji Restoration, which made Japan one of the top 10 richest countries in the world.

The 10 poorest countries in the world: South Sudan, Burundi, Malawi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Mozambique, Niger, Somalia, Sierra Leone.
1. South Sudan.
South Sudan is a landlocked country in East Africa, divided into 10 states, and is one of the least developed countries in the world declared by the United Nations. Roads, water and electricity, medical and health care, education and other infrastructure and social services are seriously lacking, and commodities are basically imported and expensive. Since 2005, the international community has provided substantial assistance to Yugoslavia in the areas of infrastructure development and public services.
Burundi.
Burundi is one of the least developed countries in the world, a country of agriculture and animal husbandry, and its main pillar industries are coffee and tea. Seventy per cent of the country's income comes from agriculture, and its main exports are coffee, tea, cotton, hides, etc., but the resilience to natural disasters is low due to poor agricultural infrastructure.
After gaining independence in 1962, the country suffered a series of military coups and plunged into regional instability. Tensions between the Hutus and the Tutsi led to a civil war in the country in the 70s and 90s of the 20th century, which led its people further towards poverty and hunger.
Malawi.
Malawi is a traditional agricultural country, and due to its inconvenient inland transportation, lack of natural resources, especially energy, and weak infrastructure, Malawi's long-term development has been slow. However, Malawi's economic performance is generally improving, mainly due to strong monetary tightening policies and strong support from international organizations such as the International Monetary Organization and the World Bank in terms of foreign exchange reserves.
Central African Republic.
Located in the heart of Africa, the Central African Republic is one of the least developed countries in the world and ranks last on the Human Development Index. Central Africa is extremely short of materials, and due to the continued political turmoil and war, production cannot be carried out normally, and the economic situation continues to deteriorate. The economy is dominated by agriculture, the industrial base is weak, and more than 80 percent of industrial products rely on imports.
Ironically, the Central African Republic is rich in valuable natural resources such as uranium, cobalt, cobalt and timber, and diamond exports alone account for more than half of the country's total export earnings.
Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the least developed countries in the world as declared by the United Nations. The economy is dominated by agriculture and mining, and the industry is underdeveloped. It is the second largest country in Africa by total area.
After gaining independence from Belgium in 1960, the country fell into a multi-year economic depression due to political assassinations, military coups, civil wars, etc. Decades of political instability, corruption, and a lack of necessary infrastructure have rendered their natural wealth worthless. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the world's second-largest diamond producer.

Due to the growing sense of autonomy of European countries, NATO can no longer be regarded as a collective ally of the United States.
