"I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." Daniel 7:8, 20

The Bible interprets its own symbols so that we need not speculate at all.

"And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." Daniel 7:24

Kings and kingdoms are used synonymously in the Bible, where you have a kingdom you also have a king. The following two verses make this principle even more clear:

"These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth." Daniel 7:17

"Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth..." Daniel 7:23


Does the Vatican fit this point?
Yes, the Vatican has a full civil government with a flag, a police force, courts and postage stamps. It issues currency and passports, and has a large and active diplomatic corps with ambassadors called nuncios. See any Encyclopedia for more information.
