Smallest Countries

Later this month, Pope Benedict XVI will travel to the U.S. from Vatican City for the first time. His country is so small, its population of 800 could fit inside a concert hall. These are the smallest countries on the planet.

(1) Vatican City 0.2 square miles
(2) Monaco 0.8 square miles
(3) Nauru 8 square miles
(4) Tuvalu 10 square miles
(5) San Marino 24 square miles


NOTE SOME SOURCES DO NOT RECOGNISE THE VATICAN CITY AS A COUNTRY
SO THEY SAY MONACO IS THE SMALLEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
