And one year later...San Marino won 3 olympic medals, the first ones of their history, and by doing so San Marino went on to become the least populated country ever to get an olympic podium and it is the smallest one to get multiple medals at a single Olympics. They sent a 5 person team to Tokyo and 3 of them medalled! What a performance.

San Marino is well known to philatelists. One of their chief exports being postage stamps. When I was young before losing my entire collection in a fire, I had a specialty album chock a block with "Art on Stamps", the majority of which were from San Marino. Micro states are big on postage stamps for collectors.

I had never heard of San Marino, until in 2000 when I happened to meet the San Marino Consul General to Brasil in (let's call it) a 'social setting' not far from São Paulo. Interestingly, he was apparently Italian and not even a citizen of San Marino. I can tell you though, he really seemed to enjoy his job. Pretty amazing that such a small country is able to maintain embassies and consulates around the world.

No worries, Austria has military crossing in the past as well (ofc only UN mission because we are neutral).

San Marino acting as a safe haven for refugees while acting like they were on board with the big scary countries is the acting performance of the century, its the combination of relative obscurity and general friendliness and flexibility that let them keep their independence, and its cool that they used those traits to help others in need, even though they have little to give and the risks if found out massive. I think I fell in love with the underdog scrappy mountain nation and excited to see them at eurovusion this year because who would have thought they would actually have a shot at winning?!?

how about a vid on Gibraltar? not necessarily a micro-state, but a micro-place indeed: a cross between southern Spain and England which you can traverse on foot within an hour, and a spot where you could casually walk through one of few British land borders. not to mention the rather interesting history and a landing strip that is also a road.

What is probably the wealthiest community in Los Angeles, though little known even among Angelenos , is also called San Marino. Rockefeller scions live there.

I lived in beverly hills of SM ..... richest guy was a jeweler...Arzilli.... . Most jews were expelled in 1442....but still few there... Jews have found some recent old documents to submit to their database about their small community 600 yr ago

That was a really interesting video,it is amazing what you can learn about the world around you no matter what your age may be.

Any way just kidding about the deal pitch,,,couldn't resist...lol, it was a great video Simon,,Thanks ;-)

Dear Simon, I have watched so many of your videos and I have never been offended by what you have said until now. Mortadella is absolutely not the same as Bologna and shame on your sir for even mentioning them in the same breath let alone making that comparisson! I'm going to go cry now and pray for your wayward soul.
