Papal State: Difference between revisions

==Economy==

The economy of the Papal State is mostly driven by the presence of the administrative apparatus of the [[Catholic Church]], which is partially contained within its walls. A large service sector exists to provide the necessary accommodations (housing, food, personal services, etc.) to support the several thousand support staff and priests who work within the State as well as the several thousand ancient residents of the Papal State. Most ancient residents of the State either work within its service sector or commute to work in Urcea, giving the Papal State a significant inflow of capital. Another major sector is {{wp|tourism}}, as [[Saint Peter's Archbasilica]] and other major sites, such as the {{wp|Vatican Museum}}, are some of the most visited places in the world. The tourism industry also provides a significant boost to the service sector economy, as two major hotels and dozens of restaurants are located within the State to provide for visitors from abroad as well as local patrons.
