Monaco is the 2nd smallest country in the

Vatican City, and the most densely populated country in Europe. And his 
national day is 19 November.
History
After regaining himself from 
Frenchie in 1814, Monaco flourished, and built 
Monte Carlo, turning the quarter into a renowned tourist spot. 
Constitutional reforms in 1911 made Monaco a 
Absolute Monarchy to a 
Semi-Constitutional Monarchy.
During WWI (1914-1918), Monaco remained 
neutral but was falling under 
French influence. Despite 
economic challenges like the Wall Street Crash in 1929 (causing 
USA's economy go destruct) and periods of occupation during World War II by first the 
Italians then the 
Germans, Monaco persevered, becoming a refuge during conflicts.
Joining the 
United Nations in 1993, reaffirming sovereignty despite being tiny.
Economy
Monaco has one of the world's highest GDP nominal per capita at US$185,742, GDP PPP per capita at $132,571 and GNI per capita at $183,150. He also has an unemployment rate of 2%, with over 48,000 workers who commute from 
France and 
Italy each day.
One of Monaco's main sources of income is tourism. Each year many foreigners are attracted to his casinos and pleasant climate. He has also become a major 
banking center, holding over €100 billion worth of funds. Banks in Monaco specialize in providing private banking, asset and wealth management services. Monaco is the only place in Europe where credit card points are not redeemable. Hotel points are not able to be accumulated nor are transactions recorded, allowing for an increase in privacy that is sought by many of the locals. The principality has successfully sought to diversify his economic base into services and small, high-value-added, non-polluting industries, such as cosmetics.
Since 1929, 
Formula 1 motorsport races, organized each year, are also very popular and notable in Monaco.
Trivia
