According to tradition, it was founded by a Christian stonemason named Marinus in 301 A.D. San Marino's foreign policy is aligned with that of Italy. Social and political trends in the republic also track closely with those of its larger neighbor. Landlocked; smallest independent state in Europe after the Holy See and Monaco; dominated by the Apennines.
