The most corrupt nation state in Western Europe occupies only 120 acres of land 
and has fewer than 1,000 residents. But its capacity for initiating criminal 
behaviour, and the global consequences of the financial and sexual scandals
in which it's entangled, are hugely out of proportion to its size.

the state’s geriatric absolute monarch as God’s representative on earth. They 
may have been aware that, for centuries, a few bad apples in the administration 
have betrayed the monarch's trust by embezzling money. But the notion that the 
whole state was slowly turning into a criminal enterprise would have struck them 
as ridiculous, even sacrilegious.

Until now.

We're talking about Vatican City, of course.
