Ever dreamt of ruling your own nation? Well, some countries are so tiny, it almost feels achievable! When we talk about landmass, the undisputed champion of miniature is Vatican City. Nestled within Rome, Italy, this independent city-state clocks in at a mere 0.44 square kilometers (about 0.17 square miles). That's roughly the size of 120 football fields!
But Vatican City isn't alone in its petite status. Monaco, famous for its glamorous casinos and Formula 1 race, is the second smallest, covering just over 2 square kilometers. Nauru, a tiny island nation in Micronesia, and Tuvalu, another Pacific island gem, also make the list of the world's smallest countries. These nations may be small in size, but they are rich in culture, history, and breathtaking scenery. Proving that great things really do come in small packages!
