THERE are only 32 female citizens in the Vatican City compared to 540 men, according to new statistics released by the smallest state in the world.
Out of the 572 citizens with Vatican passports, there are 306 diplomats, 86 Swiss guards, 73 cardinals, 31 lay people and a nun. But only 223 of them actually reside in the Vatican.
The tiny state also has 221 residents, the majority of which are clerics, monks or nuns according to the statistics released by the Holy See yesterday, to coincide with new rules on bringing cars into the crowded city.
From now on, the state will be off limits to non-residents or non-citizens unless they have a special pass.
