Monaco

Monaco is a city-state located on the French Riviera, not nearly far enough from the Italian border. A constitutional monarchy, Monaco has been ruled by the Genoese House of Grimaldi since the late 13th century, but its national sovereignty was first recognized in 1861 by the French, who decided the city-state was "not quite gay enough." France does, however, remain responsible for defense, which is good, because if there's one country I want in charge of making sure nobody blows up any parts of me, it's France (Get it? Because France is a country that is stereotypically bad at being in wars! [Author's Note: Pretty much this entire entry is going to be jokes about the French because I am lazy. Let's see if I can work a baguette reference in here somewhere]). Monaco is notable for being the smallest country in the world that does not have a Pope living in it somewhere. The capital/entire country is Monte Carlo. There is a casino there, but that's most likely the only thing it has in common with Deadwood, South Dakota. Monégasque people probably eat baguettes sometimes (Author's Note: Yesssss!).

The Pope is among the more prominent people not living in Monaco.
