Warning: Reading this article is a mortal sin! Vatican City is a small nation located in the Italian penninsula, surrounded by the city of Rome.

Despite its incredibly small size, Vatican City is one of the world's most powerful superpowers, having completely conquered both economically and culturally Europe and South America, as well as several territories in Africa and North America. Vatican City has reigned supreme for almost two millenia and always strived to achieve world domination; however, it has been slowly losing its control over time: first with the appearance of protestants and, much later, atheists.

Demographics

Of the 1.3 billion Roman Catholics worldwide, 600 live in Vatican City. Vatican City currently maintains a policy known as "100% Catholic, No Darkies, No Muslims", as promulgated by Grand Pope Tarkin, meaning that its demographics remain stagnant at 99.9% Caucasian since the 1700s – including its average density of 2.27 popes per square kilometer.

Although 5% of the population are celibate by vocation, Vatican City has a higher fertility rate than the rest of Italy. Many priests have been in training for the repopulation of European Catholic countries under a plan known as Fickem Continualis, which calls for the Vatican to supply Catholic babies in increasing numbers when the ratio of Catholics to Muslims drops to less than 2:1. Under this plan, fertility and other drugs will replace Communion at Mass for nuns in the numerous orders in the Vatican, and priests with erection problems will be issued Viagra. Priests who prefer underage companions will be given special altar boy "assistants", but all priests will be required to close their eyes and think of little boys while doing their duty with an assigned nun.

Government

The Vatican is a theocracy run solely by a corrupt organization known as the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican government serves as the mafioso headquarters of Catholicism and as the base of operations for the Papacy, which is currently occupied by Francis the talking mule. Catholics all over the world have had it pounded into their heads and butts (if they are little boys) that their first true allegiance is to the Holy See and to Mary – all else is secondary. All their political actions are disguised by religious creeds.

Military

The Vatican maintains an elite corps of superpowered soldiers. Only the fittest Swiss males are selected for membership. After completing four months of some of the longest attack, strength, defense, magic, range, and prayer training in the world – and a strict diet of boy serum – successful recruits receive a Dragon Chain and an Abby Whip. Anyone who laughs at their uniform risks being shot down by the crystal bows that all Swiss Guards hide under their freak hats.

Culture

Papa tastes the help.

Vatican number one hit: Salve Regina.

The Vatican is, of course, best known as a great center of evil Western imperialist culture, and the treasures and art locked within the secret vaults of St. Peter's Basilica reflect this notion. Unconfirmed reports state that the secret to unlocking happiness for each and every human being rests underground, where it belongs, but Vaticanites avidly deny this rumour, stating that "the price is not yet right".

Beautiful artwork also adorns the cathedrals in the Vatican, among them being the beautiful stained glass windows. Many other saints and important Catholic figures have been immortalized through such breathtaking artwork, although all artwork featuring Jesuits and other Masons in a positive light has been removed.

When meeting the Pope, basic etiquette dictates that he will first raise his hand and present his ring. One must then look him in the eye and tell him "He did kick me up the arse!"

The Vatican consists of many ancient buildings.

And catacombs. Don't forget the catacombs. You've never seen a cat use a comb?
