What Are the World's Only 3 Enclave Countries?

The Republic of San Marino was established in 301 CE, making it the world's oldest-surviving constitutional republic.

This microstate sits on the northeastern side of the Apennine Mountains in northern-central Italy, encompassed by the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Marche. According to legend, San Marino was founded when Saint Marinus (from whom the country derives its name) moved from Rab Island in present-day Croatia to Mount Titano and attracted a group of followers.
