How are they the first Christian country? Wouldn't that have been the Roman Empire?

I believe that would be Armenia.

San Marino was founded as a refuge for persecuted Christians during the Roman Empire.

Armenia converted to Christianity in 301 AD. San Marino, by coincidence, was founded the same year by a Christian from Croatia fleeing persecution, but at the time it was merely a small monastery (around which a community later grew), not an independent state. The Pope recognized the Most Serene Republic of San Marino in 1631; certainly they were de facto independent before that, but not in 301. Armenia indisputably was the first Christian state.

No reason for them not to be an FC.

also one of the first states to abolish capital punishment, in the mid-19th century (hadn't been carried out since the 15th).

Yeah, sounds like a FS, though I tend to dislike micronations on principle.
