San Marino

Sam Marino, the nation state,
This Most Serene Republic is
Atop a mount since early date,
Carrying on national biz.
Surrounded by Italy, it
Is small in citizens and size,
But has respect that does befit
Sovereignty in the world's eyes.
A republic democracy,
There are two chief executives,
From opposing parties each be,
Believer of power takes and gives.

An honorary citizen -
Abraham Lincoln, way back when.
