SAN MARINO REPUBLIC
According to tradition, the Republic of San Marino was founded in 301 A.D. and is now about 1700 years old.
The Republic is small, its territory is partly hilly and generally poor. So too have its people always been small in number and poor. San Marino is organised with its own norms and unusual institutions that regulate and supervise the democratic
functioning of all aspects of city life and international concerns.
In these trying times of great changes and uncertainties, what is
more unusual than a small country that has been able to remain viable, healthy and free against the domination of the strong and violations of rights.
