Top Little countries in the world - theilluminiate


There are many countries in the world in that some are very little countries and some big countries. in this article we will discussed about top little counties on the world.

VATICAN.

Although officially the Vatican City this city state is actually its own country as well however the holy see or the see of Rome has full ownership exclusive dominion and sovereign authority and jurisdiction still it is a country in itself and since it is just one hundred and ten acres it is considered the smallest country in the world it is less than an eighth of the size of Central Park since the holy see has control over much of the country the pope is the sovereign of the state what's funny is that since Vatican City is an enclave within Italy it is defended by the Italian military there is no written agreement that they should be sold because the country is considered neutral the city is too small to hold embassies and over seventy percent of the citizens are the clergy because of this out of about six hundred citizens in the country only about thirty of them are female you think this small country had nothing to show but Saint Peter's basilica and the Sistine Chapel some of Italy's greatest works of art are located in the Vatican.



MONACO.

Monaco is the microstate located on the French Riviera since it has over thirty five thousand residents and is less than one square mile it is now the most densely populated country in the world don't let size fool you though about thirty percent of the population are millionaires you know why because of us Monaco's main source of income is tourism it has casinos where citizens are allowed in so anything spent at the casino is pure profit for the country since citizens won't be spending any money there you know like the casinos from the James Bond movies Monaco is a tax free state which also adds to their wealth for this reason outsiders have tried to use Monaco for their income and residents to skip out on paying taxes aside from pure tourism the Grand Prix is held in Monaco is one of the greatest and most famous in the world.


NAURU.

Nauru are  formerly the attractive pleasant island is an island country in Micronesia is roughly the size of Key West and houses ten thousand residents Nauru is a phosphate rock island and a popular destination for mining operations for this reason it may be one of the wealthiest small countries in the world in the sixties and seventies it definitely was Nauru was first inhabited by Micronesians and Polynesians over three thousand years ago since there were twelve tribes of the time there is a twelve pointed star on the nation's flag for not quite known reasons now re ends are the most overweight people in the world not surprisingly after hearing this fact they have the highest rate for type two diabetes with more than forty percent of the population affected so before the country was profitable and healthy and now things are going downhill as the product of pollution and poverty.


TUVALU SULU.

which you may know as Ellis Islands is a country located nearly directly between Hawaii and Australia how big is it just about ten metres squared that's about the size of Laguna beach California it is believed that the first settlers arrived as Polynesians about three thousand years ago the people of Tuvalu once believed that cape lucia motae Ali or the eel and the plan underr created the islands the flounder created the apples and the deal created the coconut palms well this story varies depending on who you ask the foundation is pretty much the same only about three hundred and fifty people visit the country literally every year so tourism is not very popular in Tuvalu but with such a small size this isn't surprising plus nobody will be passing through and no one aside from those living on the island live anywhere near it as it is in the middle of the ocean violent crime is rare in Tuvalu and like many tiny nations it is considered pretty safe however it is illegal to do one thing that you might not think us into below it is illegal to be gay so yeah that might put a damper on things.

SAN MARINO.


Severino otherwise known as the most serene Republic of San Marino is actually a microstate that is surrounded by Italy it is the fifth smallest country in the world hence why it's number five lonely planet calls San Marino the land of clifftop castles San Marino is less than twenty five square miles which is just bigger than Providence Rhode Island the country believes they are the oldest extant sovereign state and oldest constitutional Republic they also claim to have the earliest written governing documents that are still in effect much of the language food and buildings are highly influenced by Italian history and culture probably because of its small size the majority of people

Ninety eight percent share the same religion which is Roman Catholic but it does have its own flair the palace of the governor is quite beautiful and mount titano is recognized by UNESCO as a national monument.

LIECHTENSTEIN.

Liechtenstein is one of the most fascinating small countries in the world located in central Europe this German speaking monarchy is one of a kind it's area is just over sixty square miles but it has a lot of stories to tell it is double landlocked by Austria and Switzerland who are themselves a landlocked the only other country in this situation is is back as Dan it has some of the wealthiest averages in the world with the lowest poverty rates this could possibly be the reason that there's a very low crime rate in the country there hasn't even been a murder in twenty years now citizens were given prison sentences longer than two years are transferred to Austria most people don't even lock their doors at night the place is so small that every year the head of state his serene Highness prince Hans Adam the second and his son invite the entire country to their castle for a beer in the garden of I do's castle want to know something silly the country is responsible for twenty percent of all manufactured false teeth in the world at one point the country was available for rent for seventy thousand dollars a night who wouldn't want to rent that this isn't too surprising because stepping into Liechtenstein you may think you've stepped into a story book from the monarchy to the castles to the green countryside this place looks like a medieval adventure.

MARSHALL ISLANDS.
