10. Vatican City was declared a fully independent state when?

a golden crowned lion, standing on his hind legs, in front of a dark red shield

Consists of a crowned golden lion rampant over a dark red shield; above the shield is the Bulgarian historical crown. The shield is supported by two crowned golden lions rampant; below the shield there is compartment in the shape of oak twigs and white bands with the national motto "Unity renders power" inscribed on them.

I dunno maybe you wanted a picture.

A crown, two lions, one on either side of a banner of a third lion, and some writing I can't read o.o

Alright, there are too many second place finishers for this round. I'll be asking another question - the first second place finisher to answer that question will be the second place finisher.

Zweres, about borders of russia, in here it says 14?

And here it lists 14 countries that border China

yeah I saw that too. That's why when the russia question came I put 12 cause the other one he said was 12 but online said 14. Iono I guess I thought maybe 2 countries no longer existed.

I got a map and I counted only twelve so.... I think we'll leave it that Russia only has twelve countries bordering it. I'm unsure of china though.

Well, there are twelve main countries, but I looked on a political map of China, and there are two islands that border it and aren't part of China, so...I dunno. I'm confused. =?

Okay - Witch should have gotten that point for Russia. The countries that border it are 14 - I can list them after checking my book.

I checked it - China has 15 borders I believe.

Islands aren't really bordering I don't believe. I'm also unsure of this though. I think it must be mainland and touching to be considered bordering.

Hmm, I think it just really depends on how you think of it.

i will just have to be faster to regain a point. When i looked it up it said 12.
