SAN MARINO WHICH IS THE SMALLEST REPUBLIC IN THE WORLD.
THE KEY WORD IS REPUBLIC - THE VATICAN IS SMALLER - BUT IT IS NOT A REPUBLIC - IT IS A DICTATORSHIP.
MONACO IS PROBABLY SMALLER - BUT IT IS A MONARCHY.
THEY SAY SIZE DOES NOT MATTER - BUT SAN MARINO IS NOT IN THE UNITED NATIONS - SO THERE YOU GO.
THE TOWN/CITY IS BUILT ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN - MOUNTAIN TOP TOWNS/CITIES ARE FAIRLY COMMON IN ITALY - THEY ORIGINATE IN ANCIENT TIMES - ie 500 BC APPROXIMATELY - AND ARE BUILT THERE FOR BETTER PROTECTION
