Swiss Guard
The Vatican City is a state, and as such, has its own security force. The task of the Swiss Guard is the protection of the Pope, a task that was given in 1506, even before the founding of the Vatican State. The army is the smallest in the world, amounting to about 100 soldiers. Their motto is "Honour and Fidelity", and they dedicate every day ensuring the security of the Vatican State and its visible head of state, the Pope. Every May 6 soldiers are recruited, they must be Swiss citizens, single, Catholic, aged from 19 to 30 years-of-age, with a minimum height of 1.74 meters, and also must have passed through the Swiss military training school.
