The miniature countries in continental Europe are Vatican State, Monaco, San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstein, and the Order of Knights of Malta. etc.. Other than San Marino, they each have a sovereign or royal ruler?
The Wikipedia articles for these respective countries are pretty good in this regard.
The Order of the Knights of Malta, etc. does control territory, just not much of it. As I understand, they use 2 villas which probably occupy some land which must equal less than the land/territory of Vatican State. this entity operates like any independent state in that they do have ambassadors in various places. I have no idea about the government organization of this entity other than there is a Master or prince heading the organization.
