In a country like India, lakhs of children are born every year. However, you will be surprised to know that there is a country in the world where no child has been born for the last 95 years.
About 800 people live in this country. Lakhs of people come to visit here every day. But no child is born in this country. There are many reasons for that too.
This is the smallest country in the world, where such people live, on whose orders the world runs. All the great priests of Roman Catholic Christianity lived here. The Pope is the ruler here but there are some surprising things about this country.
No child has been born here till date. The country was formed on 11 February 1929 and is now 95 years old. No child has been born here for such a long time.
The name of this country is Vatican City. It is also the smallest country in the world. When this country was created it was clear that this country would work only for Roman Catholic Christians.
You can also say that all the Catholic Churches and Catholic Christians around the world have their roots from here. The Catholic Church and its priests and major religious leaders around the world are controlled from here.
After the formation of this country, there was often discussion as to why there is no hospital here. This was also demanded but was rejected every time. Here, when someone falls seriously ill or a woman is pregnant, she is either sent to a hospital in Rome or arrangements are made to send her back to her country.
The decision not to open a hospital in Vatican City was taken due to its small size and the proximity of quality medical facilities in the surrounding area. Vatican City is only 118 acres in size. All patients have to go to clinics and hospitals in Rome for care. Since there is no delivery room here, no one can give birth to a child.
There has never been a natural childbirth here. Or it was not allowed to happen. Whenever a woman becomes pregnant here and her delivery time comes near, then according to the rules here, she has to leave this place till she gives birth to the child.
This is a rule which is followed very strictly. So you can understand why there has never been a child in Vatican City in 95 years and there never will be in the future.
There is also a legal reason for this. No one ever gets permanent citizenship in Vatican City, whoever lives here remains here for the duration of his tenure, unless he gets temporary citizenship. Because of this, it is not even allowed to be born here so that any person can claim permanent citizenship in future.
