🏛️The Sovereign Military Order of Malta is a super-secret, sovereign, international organization with ties to governments worldwide.
⚔️The Order of Malta originated as a hospital in the 11th century and later became a military order to protect the Christian stronghold in Jerusalem during the Crusades.
🌍The Order of Malta was forced to relocate to Cyprus, Rhodes, and finally Malta, where it gained significant power and briefly owned several Caribbean islands.
🇻🇦The Pope declared the Order of Malta a sovereign entity, making it territory-free but with properties considered extraterritorial.
💼The Order of Malta has its own coins, stamps, license plates, and passports, with only 500 people possessing its exclusive passport.
