Answer: Monaco

Monaco is surrounded by France on three sides and by the Mediterranean Sea on the other. It is the second smallest country in the world with only Vatican City being smaller. The total land area of the country is only 0.77 square miles so it should really be no surprise that it has no river.

Joan was captured by the Burgundians following a skirmish in May of 1430. She was later sold to the English and taken to Rouen which they controlled. She was tried for heresy and found guilty by Bishop Pierre Cauchon who was English partisan. On May 30, 1431, Joan of Arc was burned at the stake.

Years later, a new trial was authorized by Pope Callixtus III. In 1456, Joan's original verdict of guilty was reversed and she was declared innocent and described as a martyr. Over the centuries, she became a powerful symbol for the Catholic Church and was eventually beatified in 1909. In 1920, she was canonized by Pope Benedict XV and made a patron saint of France.
