It's not something new. Pretty much every government shown so far doesn't follow realistic ideas, for example Japan would never just freely "donate" a part of their own land so that a city can become an independent nation within their own borders. In fact, even if they are offered a super sweet deal better than what they can dream of, they still wouldn't agree; for what I know most of the japanese political party has this stubborn mentality that to us westerns have been told hasn't existed in japan for over 100 years.

There is also the fact that religion is not that entangled with politics. If the Vatican tells "go to war" to a country, they wouldn't jump the gun right away; like what happened in Index. It even happened with the Russian church, which is arguably not as large and influential as the Vatican.
