Limited scoring coverage for Vatican City
The World Bank (WDI) and V-Dem — our primary sources for the Overall Score and its Economy, Governance, Quality of Life, Innovation and Stability categories — don't provide the complete series we score Vatican City from, so Vatican City's Overall Score and those categories show “No data” rather than an estimated number. This is a disclosed sourcing gap, not a fabricated zero.
Everything shown below is still sourced from providers that do cover Vatican City: geography, government and named industries from the CIA World Factbook; population and demographics from UN World Population Prospects 2024; the energy mix from Ember; and mineral reserves from USGS.
