To all those of you saying that Europe doesn't have states, I swear to god... *State (noun) A nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.* In other words, "state" can also refer to countries (i.e. "the member states of the European Union")

Fact that we have European Union doesn't mean that EU is a country and people in it leaves in states... It's like making a NATO a country. I know that you are talking about small countries near to bigger one but still you miss understood European side of the world. Also some of your examples are REAL COUNTRIES! and some of them are just a independent part of others. So... I still don't understand this mixed topic video. USA system seriously doesn't exist in Europe.

in case you're wondering why these states were never truly occupied and made to assimilate, most of them are very mountainous (difficult to invade) and have few natural resources (nothing to exploit anyway). The cost - benefit just isn't there. Many of these little nations were very poor until they became tax havens, tourist hotspots or established a casino.

@@TheFlyingDogFish I mean, I said "most" but.... "Straddled on the ridge of Mount Titano is the city of San Marino of the Republic of San Marino, the history of which dates from the early 4th century. According to the legend related to the Mount and its precincts, a small monastery existed on top of the Mount during the 8th century. The mountainous landscape provides excellent views of its surroundings, and its isolated location ensured the needed seclusion for San Marino to survive as a Republic over the past several centuries" straight from wikipedia. Monaco was completely impoverished and worthless till they built the casino, hence the "few natural resources" i mentioned.

But the passive form of the verb "video" (which is "videor") should be translated as "to seem", which in italian is translated with a completely different verb, "sembrare". Even some words are tricky: lots of words in italian looks like the latin ones, but sometimes those words have completely different meanings.

The only other country that would fit is Palestine, but that is, sadly, still a hot topic.

The Order of Malta is often described as a "sovereign entity" or a "sovereign subject of international law", rather than a country, because it does not have a defined territory over which it exercises full and exclusive sovereignty. Instead, its activities are focused on providing humanitarian assistance, medical care, and charitable works around the world.

I once helped a friend hunt down the address of the Lichtenstein embassy in the U.S. It was a Lichtenstein desk within the Swiss consulate in New York City. Now there is a job I could handle -- running that desk. Staying up late to resolve all the crises that flareup between Lichtenstein and the U.S., doing security checks to detect bugging devices, and of course dealing with the defectors who want asylum in Lichtenstein. Never a moment's rest.
