San Marino, at the top of the list (v tiny geographic size and tiny population, too), made me look the place up - was trying to find out age demographics. However, what a fascinating history:

Edit to add bits culled from the Wikipedia article:
- San Marino had the world's first democratically elected communist government
- San Marino has had more female heads of state than any other country: 15 as of October 2014
- San Marino lays claim to being the oldest extant sovereign state, as well as the oldest constitutional republic
- simonebrunozzi 6y agoVirtually every Italian knows that San Marino used to be a "VAT tax haven" and other sorts of "tax haven" for many Italian entrepreneurs. No longer the case, AFAIK.
