Vatican City: Difference between revisions

 

Vatican City is the only nation in the world that can lock its own gates at night. It has its own phone company, radio, T.V. stations, money, and stamps. It even has its own army, the historic Swiss Guard.

----

* ''[[Angels & Demons]]'', where someone begins a series of ritual murders in the city.

* ''[[Hellsing]]'': the manga features an attack on the Vatican by a New Age cult, and later includes a cameo of Pope John Paul II (yes, they actually refers to him directly as Papa Joannes Paulus Secundus, lawsuits be damned) authorizing a crusade to reconquer England.

* ''[[The Tudors]]''

* ''[[The Borgias]]''

* The Vatican as represented in ''[[Scandinavia and The World]]'' is portrayed as a kindly old man in popish garb (with his flag as his robe) who gets freaked out by the Scandinavians' Christmas traditions.

* Shows up in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' as the site of the final mission, with the bulk of it taking place in the Sistine Chapel. In [[Shown Their Work|a nod to history]], the Chapel's ceiling lacks its famous fresco painting, as the level takes place in the year 1499, before the fresco was put in. The sequel, ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'', also features the Vatican prominently (what with the game being set in Rome and all), and has you breaking in several times.
