St. Peter's Basilica - a photo on Flickriver

            Believe it or not, Vatican City is a monarchy, with the Pope adding the powers of a King to his regular papal duties. The peculiar combination of how the Pope is elected makes The Vatican the world's only elected, non-hereditary, absolute monarchy. He is answerable to no human power and has final authority over the entire Roman Catholic Church, direct control that reaches down to individual members.
