San Marino is a lovely little country, well worth a day's visit when you are in the area. It has an attractive, well maintained castle and medieval type architecture. We enjoyed being there very much. I can't remember if they had their own money as we bought a meal and gifts using our cards.

MrHatoi No, the Papal States ended to exist in 1870, when Rome was completely conquered by Italy. Vatican City was founded in 1929, following an agreement between Mussolini and the Holy See, the Lateran Treaty.
Bad news, the San Marino GP isn't located within the actual country, but in the surrounding italian region of Emilia-Romagna, precisely in the town of Imola, San Marino was the owner of the track.
Heh...all of my dads family is from San Marino. My Nonna Nonno lived there before moving to the states. I live in the U.S but I have a dual citizenship there.
What's fascinating to me if how much their Constitution seems to be modeled after the old Roman Republic. So it's an ancient form of Government still be practiced today.
True, according to the Rare Earth video I saw before this one, they feared retaliation from Napoleons enemies, if he ever lost power. "wars will come and go, but neighbors are forever"
Just checking in from 2215. (Hell of an algorithm, eh?) San Marino rules the catholic world with an Iron fist. The subjugation of India is nearly complete, and Brazil, the Star of the West, has been crippled in war and drought. Economically dependent on the growing superpower of Eswatini, San Marino has turned her conqueror's gaze closer to home, eying the ancient enemy: the Empire of Monaco. After a hundred years of sporadic war, San Marino is ready for the killing strike against her ancient sister. Writing from my exile in the Quebec Republic, I wonder if perhaps the time has come for me to just give up on this rock. I hear the U.S.S. Clinton just finished a new affordable cylinder city out past Europa. Might be a good place to get away from this stupidity for a while.
that's true we have letters exchange with Regent Onofri, who declined fearing future retaliations and yes, that was the last chance we had to get sea access
maybe some history lessons: Garibaldi owes a lot at San Marino, cause still HE personally was hosted and helped to avoid enemy forces, Napoleon granted freedom and respect (and 4 cannons) and also Lincoln does it, also 2nd world war Italy owes a lot on San Marino (100.000 refugees hosted and feeded on a population on 25.000), and also if we don't want to accept the legend of the dalmatian refugees founding San Marino e San Leo we have to admit that the pacts of Fossombrone stated the existence of a State-City like many others in Italy; San Marino survives and thanks to is smallness became a nation at least 500 years ago making it the oldest republic in the world anyway.
I avoided it for quite a few years, traveling down the Adriatic coast, but decided to go in about 10 years ago. I expected plastic tomahawks and that kind of crap, but found San Marino to be quite charming. For about 5 Euros, get the passport stamp.....
1:28 If i remember well, in geopolitics there is different names for all those situations : If a country exists de jure and de facto : a State, Ex : France (Not sure of that name, recognised State ?

Well I visited it about 50 years ago and all I remember about it was the steeply sloping streets and that it rained from when I arrived to when I left.
Regarding when it became a country, any of those dates could be used. It's like when did Australia, NZ, Canada become independent countries? It was gradual. No specific date. No big bang. But certain events helped establish their independence from the UK.
Would be fun if talked about the history of Couto Mixto, a de facto country that existed between Portugal and Spain from the 10th century all the way up to the 1800's.
The fact that Europe is full of tiny countries like this shows how tolerant and peaceful that side of the world is. Compare that to places like Asia and it’s the complete opposite.
I was in San Marino once and visited their local chapel on the hill. The mountain was very nice, there was only one major road which lead all the way to the capital, and the minimum drinking age was 14 believe it or not.
And thus he built his city on a hill, which was to be the most prosperous and its walls were never to be breached. What? Not Rome, silly --- San Marino!
Rome got invaded, but San Marino has been independent since it was formed --- the longest continuous uninterupted independence of any nation. It just goes to show strength isn't the best way to avoid invasion --- being irrelevant is!
