The world’s smallest countries may occupy tiny areas of land or water, but that doesn’t stop them from thinking big. They may also be the spiritual home to millions of believers; a high-stakes gambling mecca for the glitterati; or a perfect mix of sun, sand, and surf, drawing visitors from afar. So here are the smallest countries in the world, from largest to tiniest.
Floating in the western Pacific Ocean, Palau is composed of some 340 volcanic and coral islands comprising a total surface area of 188 sq. mi. (488 sq. km). Apparently, Long Island is 7.79 times as big as Palau, and Montreal Island is 1.07 times larger.
Micronesia
At 271 square miles (701 square kilometres) Micronesia is the most macro of the small countries. Still, the land area of the Federated States of Micronesia in the North Pacific Ocean is only four times the size of Washington, D.C. Geographically, these islands vary from high mountains and volcanic outcroppings to low coral atolls.
Tonga
Saint Lucia
Andorra
Seychelles
I sell Seychelles by the seashore . . . OK, that’s not quite how the tongue twister goes, but this archipelago (172 sq. mi./446 sq. km) in the Indian Ocean is bound to have a lot of sea shells with its pristine beaches and sea waters. The capital city of Victoria also has lots of nifty examples of 18th- and 19th-century French and British architecture.
