Best Answer

The Vatican City is an independent country.

With the unification of Italy in the 19th century, the Papal States were abolished and the issue was resolved in 1929. It was established on 7th June 1929 in the Lateran Treaty which was signed by representatives of Italy and the Pope. The Vatican City is distinct from the Catholic Church although it's head (the pope) is also the spiritual leader of Catholicism.
