There's over 200 countries in our world i'm sure you've heard of all of the
larger ones at least once but there are some tiny countries with
just a few people living in them i'm sure you've never heard of before
these countries may not be big but they are fascinating confusing and at times
scary stick around to see just how small these countries can get
hut river australia is a massive country but within it is another country hutt
river the principality of hutt river was founded by leonard castle
hutch river has a population of just 30 people there was a dispute between the
australian government and five families over wheat the australian
government said they owned some fields of wheat but the
five farming families disagreed and said they owned it
that's when leonard used the british treason act to make hutt river a country
it has its own currency stamps and passports
and today leonard goes by his royal highness prince leonard the first of hut
for many years australia and hot river had peace
but recently things heated up again that's when the australian government
said hut river was behind three million dollars in taxes the case
is now going to the australian high court so we'll have to see what happens
new way new way is a tiny island in oceana
it looks amazing like a tropical paradise
but despite this because it's so small there's barely any tourism
the country depends heavily on foreign aid from new zealand
its capital city has less than 600 people but the country has its own
airport and supermarket that's right just one supermarket for
the entire country the population of new way is around 1190
people despite being so small this country is
action-packed you can get around pretty much
everywhere on a motorbike and all around the island you can watch humpback whales
nurse their calves tropical diving is also very popular in
the country and it's even the world's first
free wi-fi nation this means there's free wireless internet all over the
island wherever you go i might just have to take a trip to this
place sadly though the country is in decline
most of the younger people leave and emigrate to new zealand in hopes of
better job opportunities sealand the principality of sealand is one of
the world's smallest countries it covers just 0.004 square kilometers
and with a population of 27 people it's pretty tiny
amazingly though it's still not the smallest country on this list
sea land sits in a concrete and steel construction in the north sea
if you swim six miles off the coast of suffolk england you can actually find
this country the country was founded by roy bates
his title is his royal highness prince roy of sealand
he lives in sealand with his family members and some friends
sea land even has its own national anthem and its own motto imer libertas
which is latin iv from the sea freedom if you make a
donation to this country you can get an official
noble title maybe i'll do that and become lord
charlie of sealand paolo the republic of paolo is a tiny island
nation in fact it consists of more than 300 islands in different sizes
paolo is one of the most amazing places in the world it has
rainforests full of amazing plants and birds and its waters are inhabited by
more than 130 species of sharks but its most amazing attraction has to
be jellyfish lake this is a lake with more than 2 million
jellyfish in it amazingly you can even swim in it as
over time they've lost their ability to sting the tiny nation covers only 459
square kilometers and it has a population of 21 347.
seborga everyone knows the famous italian micronation of
vatican city but less people know about the principality of cebu
this place is 4.91 square kilometers and there's only 312 people living in it
the territory is ruled by his tremendousness marcelo the first you can
find this place in northwestern italy it's actually on the border with france
the country was founded in 1963 when they believed they were separate from
italy things have been pretty peaceful with
italy and seborgan this is mainly because the inhabitants
still have to pay italian tax and vote in italian elections
right now there's even political arguments in the country his
tremendousness marcelo the first is being challenged
for his place as the ruler of seborga this is by his serene highness nicholas
the first he set out a five-year plan for building
up the country even more maybe instead of paying attention to the
u.s election this year we should pay attention to saborga instead
nooroo noru is the smallest island country on the planet it does not have
an official capital or public transport as it's so small
it's only got about 25 miles of road and the island itself is only 21 square
kilometers unfortunately this amazing place is not
very popular with tourists that's because of various environmental
problems nowru is also one of the most obese
countries in the world its obesity rate is more than 70
the reason why is because you can't grow much healthy food on the island
they have porous land meaning that farming is next to impossible
naaru has a population of 9591 people in the 1900s nauru has been pretty rich
that's because they used to mine lots of phosphate but recently the demand for
the mineral has ended this has led to nearly 90 unemployment
and it also means that there's tons of trash and abandoned
mines and factories all over the island sadly noro is a rags to riches to rags
against story tuvalu tuvalo is quite near to and is
very similar to noru the country is composed of nine small
coral islands it spans 26 square kilometers and has a
population of just 10 959 people they're one of the poorest
countries in the world but most of their money actually comes
from internet domains because of the country's name they've
been given the internet domain tv of course in most of the world this
is short for television and this means that everyone who wants a
dot tv domain for their website has to pay tuvalu
this makes the country millions of dollars every year and it's their main
economy that's pretty lucky seeing as this
country has been around for a lot longer than the internet or tvs
tuvalu is also a very scenic place and looks pretty amazing
but if you want to see it then go soon as it may disappear in the future
that's because rising sea levels are making tuvalu smaller
every single year saint kitts and nevis saint kitts and nevis are two islands
but one country its main source of income is its
economic citizenship program this allows anyone who has at least two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to invest in the local sugar industry
in exchange for that they get citizenship of st kids
another way of getting citizenship here is simply by purchasing a property worth
more than four hundred thousand dollars they're doing this to grow their tiny
population of 52 329 people the island is only 261 square
kilometers the sovereign military order of malta
everyone knows that the vatican city is its own country inside the territory of
rome but it's not the only one there's also
the sovereign military order of malta not to be confused with the country
malta this area is 0.01 square kilometers it
occupies around three buildings two of which are located in rome and the third
is on the island of malta the country has its own currency stamps
website car number plates and passports and a
very small population of 13 000 people milosia

who lives there pays no taxes to the us government the
country is 0.00518 kilometers squared
it has its very own currency made on poker chips
it's ruled by his excellency kevin barr the president of the country
you may think that kevin made this country for more freedom and liberty but
no in fact spinach tobacco and catfish are
