A city-state is a sovereign state that consists of a city and its dependent territories. Vatican City ([ˈvætᵻkən_ˈsɪti] Città del Vaticano [tʃitˈta ddel vatiˈkaːno] Civitas Vaticana), officially Vatican City State or the State of Vatican City ([Stato della Città del Vaticano, links = no] [Status Civitatis Vaticanae, links = no]), is a walled enclave within the city of Rome. However, formally it is not sovereign, with sovereignty being held by the Holy See, the only entity of public international law that has diplomatic relations with almost every country in the world. The independent city-state, on the other hand, came into existence in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty between the Holy See and Italy, which spoke of it as a new creation, not as a vestige of the much larger Papal States (756 - 1870), which had previously encompassed much of central Italy. According to the terms of the treaty, the Holy See has "full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction" over the city-state.
