Here I am again in yet another country.

What country am I in?

10,000 points to the first correct answer. You can only guess ONCE and please make your answer NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS (as in East Germany, which this is not).

BTW, the person taking the picture of me was in Italy.


CONGRATULATIONS!

This photo was taken in 1996. And I always give the year when pertinent to the question; for example, in the case of East Germany, I would have indicated the year as being prior to 1990. However; in the case of Vatican City...

For you. But for some, I considered this to be hard. I expected Italy to be immediately named, as it was.
Very few people know that Vatican City is a separate nation (well, at least amongst us WASPs.)

There is another country within Italy that will come along some day. As a child collecting postage stamps, this country within Italy produced the most dazzling of all stamps for me. Some of you already have guessed the correct country but will you recognize it when I post it?
