But not always; the Sovereign Military Order of Malta rules over an area in Rome that is half as large as a football field and has a total population of two.

In Monaco, Sack missed Prince Rainier, but everywhere else he hobnobbed with the princes, seneschals, presidents, captains regent, sheiks, nawabs, rahs and dewans of postage-stamp domains from Sark in the English Channel to Sikkim...
