Nauru has also become known as the Tele marketing scam capital of the world along side Sao Tome! There are believed to be potentially 100’s of scam opperations directly linked to online gambling and porn that operate out of Nauru. Don’t be suprised to see 1000’s in long distance charges on your phone bill if you are still on dial up internet. Your local phone company won’t help you with these charges either.

Luxembourg is 999 sq. mi., so it’s a giant compared to these tiny countries. Liechtenstein is 62 sq. mi., so it would have been #6 on this list (I only listed the Top 5). Andora is 181 sq. mi. - it’s also small, but not as small.
Bermuda is not a country - it’s a territory of the UK. Plus, it’s not a single island, but a collection of 138 islands comprising of 27.7 sq. mi.
Had Sealand been recognized as a real country, it would have been the smallest (at 550 550 m²!). But alas, it’s only an old sea fort in the UK.
Ditto Sovereign Military Order of Malta, it’s not a “true” sovereign, i.e. it has no territory.
Bassas da India, in addition to not being a country, is just a tiny island. It’s uninhabited, to boot. Plus at 80 km², it wouldn’t have made it anyway.

Great list. Some people just like to heckle. Anyways, as you should know Michael, Petoria is no longer a country. After its attack on the United States Peter (President of Petoria) was forced to surrender to the United States and give up his country’s independence. The inhabitants of the small country inside Rhode Island included only 1 person at the time and 1 talking dog. (The first lady and 3 children had all left the country).

If the Vatican City was created in 1929, then how is it that it has been guarded by the Swiss Guard for 500 years?
-
Nick

K Sealand is not a micronation, because that would count as a micronation is just a small country. It is a principality which means nothing for this. Bassas Da india is an uninhabited island which makes it hard to be country because there are no people. And it means the Swiss Gaurd is 500 years old, not that the Swiss Guard has been protecting the Vatican for that long.

The Swiss gaurd have been protecting the Vatican since 1506 (according to a vatican website). However, the Vatican hasn’t been a nation since 1506. Just as there was a King of France long before France became a nation-state. Before 1929 the Vatican might have been a part of Italy (though still defended by its own military) or it might simply have not been defined as a nation. Having focused my studies on the middle ages I’m not sure on the matter.

Bermuda is a country by the way, we have our own curency and national anthem. We are the oldest british colony in the world though we are considered a country and are part of the comonwealth. If we were not a country we would be part of englnd when we went to the olympics and any other big games.

Bermuda is not a country. Just because they come out on their own during the Olympics means nothing. Puerto Rico does the same and they are not a country. Bermuda is a colony that reject independence from the U.K. in 1994.

Great site, and remarkable outpouring of grief from a very simple exercise. Well defended at entries #10 and #11. Love the degeneration from around #21. Re Paris Hilton (#25), that’s a hotel not a country - many visitors, no permanent residents. In the world guide I have (1994), Bermuda is described as ‘a dependent territory of the United Kingdom with a constitution dating from June 1968.’

Come on, people. Is it REALLY that hard to go on Wikipedia, or look in an Atlas, and find out that Liechtenstein is 160 square KM? Or that Bermuda, Gibraltar, etc. are TERRITORIES, not countries? Or that Sealand is a fucking joke? You should do some research, like the author, before making assinine statements that are wildly inaccurate.

Actually Casino Royale (the novel) was neither in Monte-Carlo nor Monte-Negro…but in Normandy, north of France, precisely Royale-les-eaux which gave the name of the casino, royale, where they play…so nice try to you Nicolae Guta…
As for taxes in Monaco, the taxes for foreigners apply only to famillies who entered the country after 61. So if your familly was there before 61 and you’re french you still don’t pay taxes as long as you live there 6 months a year.

Sealand? Can’t find a single country that recognizes it. The UN doesn’t. The US doesn’t. Europe doesn’t. Let’s cut the BS. Perhaps some guy behind a computer does. Does that make it a country? In that case, my house is my country, my castle, and has my own religion, based on me. It is a republic, headed by a dictator, and a king, all in one. I tax myself, and treason is a daily thing here. I had me, I mean the king.
