Republic of San Marino
Serenissima Repubblica di San Marino
   San Marino is one of the few countries to be completely incorporated into another, bordering Emilia-Romagna and the Marches, two regions of Italy. This small Republic has existed for centuries (1291 the official year of recognition, but was born in 301 AD) and has always maintained its independence by keeping its distance from Italian historical events; the territory is hilly, with Monte Titano as its highest elevation.
