Smallest Countries In The World - Top 10 Smallest Nation In The World By Area

Area Wise Smallest Countries Of The World:

Isn’t it funny that the smallest country in the world is the epicentre of one of the largest religious sect in the World?  We are talking about Vatican city, where the Pope resides.  The city comprises of a few old buildings, churches, and some parks.  It is placed at the center of Rome.  One distinct feature about this country is that although it has all the paraphernalia of a country if you are looking for a permanent resident, you may have only the Pope and the people who are employed in the Vatican and the global missions it has.

If you look at the first ten countries, you would see that half of the countries are in Europe.  Monaco, the second smallest country at 2.02 sq. km, also is the home of one of the famous races in the world, the Monaco Grand Prix, Formula One race.  It gained its independence from the republic of Genoa in 1297. In the recently concluded Olympics, we had two athletes from the third smallest country by area, Nauru.  With the sea surrounding the country on all sides, they are facing issues because of the rising sea levels.  Hence the athlete tried to raise the awareness about this with the world using the stage set at Rio.  It has only 21 square kilometres in total and belongs to the Australia and Oceania continent wise.

Top 10 Smallest Country In The World:

A few of the countries in the top 10 would also include the Tuvalu and San Marino.  Tuvalu is found in the Pacific Ocean and is a Polynesian island. San Marino, the fifth smallest in the world and the third smallest in Europe is like the Vatican City - this is also a country surrounded by another country, Italy.  One things to keep in mind when we consider the areas for all these countries is that we are taking the land and water surface area to make the calculation.
