Monaco,




Monaco's population is unusual in that the native Monegasques are a minority in their own country. The largest proportion of residents are French nationals (47%), followed by Monegasque (16%), and Italians (16%). The remaining 21% belong to one of the other 125 nationalities that make up Monaco's international population. At 45, Monaco's average age is the highest in the world.

French is the only official language, but Italian, English, and the two local languages, Monégasque (a combination of Italian and French) and Occitan, are also spoken. The literacy rate is 99% (I would amused if it was less:-)) Beautiful place!
