@hikari they do???

@whitequark @hikari the Vatican is a country

@canteen @hikari oh right

@whitequark @canteen yes, but vatican city is not a member of the un :)

the holy see is :)

@whitequark @canteen oh, correction, the holy see is not a member but it is a “permanent observer state”, which is very funny because it is not a state

@hikari @whitequark I am learning a lot today
