$V$ can have dimension $0,1,2$ or $3$. Take for instance the origin, for the $0$-dimensional space. You could use the spaces spanned by any $1,2$ or $3$ linearly independent vectors, as examples. Well, in the case of dimension $1$, just the span of a nonzero vector...

As to the possibility of fractional dimension, i found this.

Maybe there are more possibilities...
