Top 10 Smallest Countries in the World
Top 10 Smallest Countries in the World
10. Malta -- 122 square miles (316 sq km) -Cracking our top 10 is the European island country of Malta. Known for its Order of Knights and the Maltese Cross, Malta is inhabited by a total of just over 450,000 citizens populating an area of 122 square miles (316 sq km). With an average of about 3,400 citizens per square mile, it is also one of the most densely populated countries in the world.
9. Maldives -- 120 square miles (300 sq km) -Yet another island country and the popular tourist destination, the beautiful Maldives. Natural beauty is what Maldives are known for, with astonishing diving sites and an abundant underwater life thriving with stunning rare creatures.
8. Saint Kitts and Nevis -- 101 square miles (261 sq km) -As the smallest country in the Americas, Saint Kitts and Nevis lands at No. 8 of our top list with a total land area of 101 square miles (261 sq km). Sometimes referred to as The Mother Colony of the West Indies, Saint Kitts and Nevis were among the first Caribbean islands ever to be settled by Europeans.
7. Marshall Islands -- 70 square miles (181 sq km) -So far our list was entirely consisted of island countries, and Marshall Islands isn't about to break this pattern, which is actually quite obvious just from the name itself. Located north of Australia in the Pacific Ocean, it's also the first country on our list to go below the 100 square miles mark.
6. Liechtenstein -- 62 square miles (160 sq km) -We've reached land at last, Europe to be precise. As the first continental country on our top 10, Liechtenstein is smallest yet richest German-speaking country. Located in Central Europe, it has a land mass of 62 square miles (160 sq km).
5. San Marino -- 24 square miles (61 sq km) -We're still in Europe, but we've gone a bit southbound, to northern Italy. Drastically smaller than all of the countries listed so far, San Marino gets very close to minuscule size of 20 square miles (50 sq km). It has an estimated population of 30,000 inhabiting the area of 24 square miles (61 sq km).
4. Tuvalu -- 10 square miles (26 sq km) -Formerly known as the Ellice Islands, Tuvalu marks our return to island countries. Located in the Pacific Ocean east of Australia, it takes up an area of approximately 10 square miles, and with a population of 10,000, Tuvalu has a quite dense population of over 1,000 inhabitants per square mile.
3. Nauru -- 8.1 square miles (21 sq km) -We've reached the end as far as island countries go. We are in Micronesia and we are looking at the smallest island country in the world, the tiny Nauru. Apart from cracking out top 3, it is also the first country to go below the 10 square miles area size. With a population of under 9,500, it is also the world's second least populated country.
2. Monaco -- 0.78 square miles (2 sq km) -With a size smaller than a single square mile, Monaco definitely has a lot to offer. Known for its luxury, expensive yachts and casinos, it is no wonder that Monaco has become a rich tourist center. It even has a Formula 1 track which goes through the streets of the city.
1. Vatican -- 0.17 square miles (0.44 sq km) -We've reached the very top of our list. A country within a city, taking up mere 110 acres (44 ha), Vatican is by far the world's smallest country. It's also the center of Catholic faith and a home to the biggest church in the world, the world-famous St. Peter's Basilica. With a population of slightly over 800 citizens, it also takes the title of the least populated country in the world.
