Linda Cass Daugherty, The population of Vatican City is not one person. The population of Vatican City is about 800 people, of whom over 450 have Vatican citizenship, while the rest have permission to reside there, either temporarily or permanently, without the benefit of citizenship. It helps to check your facts before posting foolishness. http://www.vaticanstate.va/content/vaticanstate/en/stato-e-governo/note-generali/popolazione.html
