The five microstates (Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican) are wreaking havoc in south-central Europe.

Vatican, not really because it's surrounded by another national capital.

Vienna and Bratislava are creating an interesting effect too.

Vatican seems to have an effect though, and Vienna and Bratislava (Slovakia) aren't even in the game, but Ljubljana (Slovenia) is.

The Vatican being in the center of another countries capital city shouldn't have any influence.

Yet, it seems that it does.

Yeah, but it's distance to the city centre, not distance to the city, which makes a huge difference when one city is in another city. Would you say you're closer to the Vatican than Rome when you're in Rome, but closer to the centre of the Vatican than to the centre of Rome?
