Monaco is a small principality in the South of France, with a harbour full of luxurious yachts; and people trying
to win enough money to buy one, in the casino of Monte Carlo.

The house of Grimaldi, originally from Genoa, have been the
hereditary rulers since 1297; although they were dispossessed during the French
Revolution.
In 1861 Monaco was restored as an independent principality, under the
protectorate of France.
Under a 1918 treaty, Monaco was to lose its sovereignty and be
incorporated into France if the reigning Grimaldi prince died without leaving a male heir.
In changes made to the constitution in 2002, if Prince Albert II (who
succeeded Prince Rainier III after his death, in April 2005) does not have children, the
throne will pass to his sister Princess Caroline.
The official language of Monaco is money - sorry, French.
