Most Serene Republic (Respublica Serenissima in latin) is a title attached to the following countries:
Republic of Venice (the Most Serene Republic of Venice), city-state that existed from 697 to 1797 based in the city of Venice with continuously controlled territory along the eastern Adriatic at its strongest period
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (the Most Serene Commonwealth of Both Nations or Serenissima Respublica Poloniæ actually), an elective monarchy in Central and Eastern Europe, existing from 1569 until 1795
Republic of Genoa (the Most Serene Republic of Genoa), an independent state based in present-day Liguria on the northwestern Italian coast from ca. 1100 to 1805
San Marino (the Most Serene Republic of San Marino), a current independent state wholly surrounded by Italy
Though the English translation may suggest that there can only be one "Most" Serene Republic, the original Italian Serenissima Repubblica does not have this connotation. A more accurate translation may be "Very Serene Republic;" however, "Most Serene" is traditional and arguably more mellifluous.
