Top 10 Smallest Countries Of The World | Smallest Countries | Top 10
Size matters, when it comes to the world map. It is easy to spot and remember the largest countries in the world, like the USA, Russia, Canada, and China. They are hard to ignore owing to their massive landscapes. As a result of their size and seemingly never-ending borders, these countries are believed to be very powerful too. However, we should not underestimate the power of the small. From religion to economy, the smallest countries in the world do exercise power in their own way. Let us look at the list of the smallest countries in the world and understand more about them.
It is possible to rank all the countries of the world according to their populations or by the least land area. The total area of a country is its physical size denoted numerically in square miles or kilometers. It is the total area including land and water which is enclosed by the borders of the country. So, here are the smallest countries in the world as far as land area is concerned:
1. Vatican City | 0,44 km²
2. Monaco | 1,98 km²
3. Nauru | 21 km²
4. Tuvalu | 26 km²
5. San Marino | 61 km²
6. Liechtenstein | 160 km²
7. Marshall Islands | 181 km²
8. Saint Kitts and Nevis | 261 km²
9. St Vincent and the Grenadines | 280 km²
10. Maldives | 300 km²
Nauru Travel
Nauru officially the Republic of Nauru (Nauruan: Repubrikin Naoero) and formerly known as Pleasant Island, is an island country in Micronesia in the Central Pacific. Its nearest neighbour is Banaba Island in Kiribati, 300 kilometres (186 mi) to the east. It further lies northwest of Tuvalu, north of the Solomon Islands, east-northeast of Papua New Guinea, southeast of the Federated States of Micronesia and south of the Marshall Islands. With 10,084 residents in a 21-square-kilometre (8.1 sq mi) area, Nauru is the smallest state in the South Pacific and third smallest state by area in the world, behind only Vatican City and Monaco.

Central Plateau in Nauru, Nauru
Nauru is a tiny phosphate rock island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean south of the Marshall Islands in Oceania.
Its land area is 21 km2, and it has a 30-kilometre coastline.
The climate is tropical with a monsoon rainy season from November to February.
A sandy beach rises to the fertile ring around raised coral reefs. The raised phosphate plateau ('Topside') takes up the central portion of the island. The highest point is 65 m above sea level, along the plateau rim.
Nauru's only economically significant natural resources are phosphates, formed from guano deposits by seabirds over many thousands of years, and fisheries, particularly for tuna.
Due to being surrounded by corals and sandy beaches, the island houses no natural harbours, nor any rivers or substantial lakes.
Nauru has its own unique navigational system, which is only capable of being used on the island.
To at least a depth of 55 metres below sea level, the limestone has been dissolved forming cavities, sinkholes and caves. Holes on the topside of the island were filled up by a phosphate layer up to several metres thick.
Anibare Bay was formed by the underwater collapse of the east side of the volcano. Buada Lagoon was formed by solution of the limestone when the sea level was lower, followed by collapse.
Nauru is moving at 104 mm per year to the north west along with the Pacific Plate.
Freshwater can be found in Buada lagoon, and also in some brackish ponds at the escarpment base in Ijuw and Anabar in the northeast. There is an underground lake in Moqua Cave in the southeast of the island.
