Corpus Separatum
Corpus separatum is Latin for "separated body". The term referes to a city or region which is given a special legal and political status different from its environment, but which falls short of being an independent city state. A significant historical example is that of the Corpus separatum (Fiume), which for several centuries determined the status of Fiume/Rijeka within the Habsburg Empire.

Pope Pius XII was the among the first to make such a proposal in the 1949 encyclical Redemptoris Nostri Cruciatus. This idea was later re-proposed during the papacies of John XXIII, Paul VI and John Paul II.
