SAN MARINO

Location: Landlocked enclave in Italy, southeast of Bologna. Size: 24 sq. mi. (61 sq. km.). Population: 19,000.

Who Really Rules: A city-state since the 4th century, San Marino is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Governed by a leftist coalition, it is the only nation in Western Europe with a Communist-led regime. Ethnically Italian, San Marino has close ties, including a customs union, with Italy. Italy subsidizes the San Marinese budget in exchange for an agreement not to market certain commodities in Italy. San Marino, unlike many other ministates, carries out its own foreign policy, with consulates around the world.
