    Nowhere it is a dead/classical language. ‘Romance’ languages do stem from it though, Spanish, French, Italian.
    The ‘official’ language of the Vatican is Latin, however no one speaks it as no one knows how to pronounce it, as no one is alive today that was alive when it was spoken. It is generally said that Italian is spoken in the Vatican now, it is a state not a country after all.

    Vatican

    Latin is used for official purposes. De facto languages are Italian, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, with Italian the most commonly used. The language of the Papal Swiss Guard is German. The diplomatic language is French.

    none, Latin is a dead language, that’s why it’s used for scientific terms because the meaning can’t change.

    Absolutely none, but it is still taught in Italian schools. When I went there my Latin teacher made us memorize so many different words. It was really hard, haha. It is truly a dead language and is only used for translating old texts and research.

    I would be surprised to see a country speak a language within itself.

    If you mean in what countries are there Latin speaking people, I would guess that within all of them you will find some. By being a common language amongst the "elite" it tears down the barriers of language.
