What is the specific term for tiny political units that are holdovers from medieval times and include places like Andorra, Monaco, and Vatican City?

Peninsula
Paradores
Micro-states
Longitude

The correct answer is: Micro-states

Paradores is incorrect because it refers to a Spanish hotel chain, not a political unit. Peninsula is incorrect because it refers to a geographical feature, not a political unit. Longitude is incorrect because it refers to a measurement of distance, not a political unit. Micro-states is the most precise term for these tiny political units, known for their historic and cultural significance as well as unique sovereignty. Examples of micro-states include Andorra, Monaco, and Vatican City.
