Stateless countries: Malta

 On facebook, there is a very interesting explanation about landless country.

Can you guess this landless country?

It's a great explanation worth listening to at: Geography Now

Here is a comment from a reader:
Well, from the perspective of the theory of international law, the Sovereign Order is definitely a subject of international law, but one could not call it a country, as it lacks some key elements like territory or population. As mentioned in the video, only three people are considered as "citizens", they issue only diplomatic passports that give its holders the right to represent the order before other subjects of international law. Important diplomatic players, but cannot be called a country, or a state.
Just for curiosity’s sake, the last time I was in Rome, I visited the SMOM headquarters. A mansion not far from the Spanish Steps. I rang the bell at the gate and was buzzed into the ‘nation’. My friend and I chatted briefly with the person at the desk and we discussed things like stamps. I collect SMOM stamps, first issued in the 1960s.
So SMOM is not a fantasy. It exists and I’ve been there.

About Venice

By
  1. Venice was built on wooden piles – True. The city is constructed on millions of wooden piles driven into the clay and sand beneath the lagoon. Alder wood, known for its water resistance, was primarily used, along with oak and larch. 2. The wooden piles have petrified over time – Partially true. The piles haven’t literally turned into stone (petrification), but they have become extremely hard. This is because they are submerged in oxygen-poor water, which prevents decay and allows minerals from the water to gradually reinforce the wood. 3. St. Mark’s Campanile stands on 100,000 piles – False. The bell tower is supported by about 10,000 wooden piles, not 100,000. 4. Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks – Likely an exaggeration. The basilica does rest on thousands of piles, but claims of a million are probably inflated. 5. Piles are driven up to three meters deep and spaced half a meter apart – Generally accurate. The depth and spacing vary, but...

Various INFORMATION regarding the California Fires - January 2025 via social media

By
Various videos reporting the fires in Los Angeles area on Twitter/X   Updated information Jan 10, 2025: About the Resnicks and shortage of WATER and other manipulations." One billionaire couple owns almost all water in California. The family donates SIGNIFICANTLY to Democratic candidates You won’t believe this, in 2021 they made a huge donation to Gavin Newsom to fight against his recall Lynda and Stewart Resnick own roughly 60% of California's water rights. Some estimates say this could be as high as 75% “They use over 150 billion gallons of water every year” “Water used to be considered a public right, that was until 1994 when there was a secret meeting. These two were in attendance and it was divided up by private interest groups before the 1994 secret meeting.” They’ve been paying off Democrats ever since to keep the scam going and Governor Gavin Newsom is their guy"  =================================== I had a girlfriend mention about “smart cities” and I ju...
