A country must have a people. Who are the people of the Vatican? The only persons who live there are temporary government employees and not even all of them are citizens because that is optional. You cannot own…
I don't understand why the Vatican is considered a country, besides as a quirk of history. It is smaller than high school campus nearest my house, is not a UN member, and seems to exist solely as a tax haven. It also…
US government spending is (for now) easy to track, and you can get totals for spending by corporate entity. In total across the entire US federal government, $518.8 million was paid to Microsoft for products and…
