There are some pretty small countries in our world – and to think, we always have images of grand, huge, bustling culture with millions upon millions of people when we think of a whole nation. However, there are actually ten countries with a population of less than 70,000, and a super famous one you certainly have heard of that has less than 750 people total!
10. Antigua and Barbuda

With a population of approximately 70,000 people, Antigua and Barbuda is a pretty small country – it’s population is ⅓ to ¼ that of Iceland, about 50,000 less than the town of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and probably 100 to 120x smaller than the population of all of New York City.
9. Marshall Islands

With a population of less than 60,000 people, the entire surface area of the Marshall Islands is less than 175 total square miles! That country is quite tiny! Located in the northern Pacific Ocean, the Marshall Islands are, as the name would suggest, an island country, and actually borders the #2 country on our list.
8. Saint Kitts & Nevis

Saint Kitts is an island in the West Indies that is in the same federation as the island of Nevis. The population of this federation is less than 40,000 people total, making this island smaller than your average American town, about 15 times smaller than the entire city of Boston, Massachusetts, and about 650 – 700 times smaller than the entire states of Texas.
7. Liechtenstein

With a population of 33,720, Liechtenstein is less than half the size of our #10 country, Antigua and Barbuda. The whole country is less than 63 square miles in size, making it quite a tiny nation. The country is bordered by Switzerland and located in Central Europe. An interesting fact of note is that it is, by measure of gross domestic product per capita, the richest German-speaking country in the entire world!
6. Monaco

Boasting a truly enormous and unbelievably large population of 32,410 people, Monaco is just a little bit smaller than Liechtenstein. Located along the French Riviera in Western Europe, it lies adjacent to France. It also borders the Mediterranean sea, and is actually run as a monarchy under Prince Albert II.
For those of you looking to move to Europe for an incredible tax incentive, look no further than Monaco: this country poses absolutely no income tax to its citizens.
very good
Where’s gibraltar on your list? It has a population of 30,000
Gibraltar is also a British Overseas Territory. Although it is mostly self-governing Gibraltar is still a British territory and relies on Great Britain for its defense and all foreign relations
maneco is the best looking so awsom
There’s a country I want to find I forgot the name of it, its population is like 30-500
What about Pitcairn in the Pacific? Fewer than 100 inhabitants now, I believe…
Pitcairn is actually part of Great Britain as a British Overseas Territory, so it isn’t an independent nation.
Is that really
Gibraltar is a self governing overseas Uk territory not a country in its own right . But the list has missed a few of the small pacific nations like Tokelau Islands with a population below 10000 .
monaco is a best country in the world.there people is very pieceful
i saloot of this country
But india is better than monaco
Hi, I am from an island called Niue and we have approximately 1,200 people. So we are small! We could have been number 2. We are definitely small than Tuvalu!
I think the author is referring to completely independent countries. Although Niue is self governing, its people are New Zealand citizens and the head of state is Queen Elizabeth. I’m not sure that is what the author meant, but its a good guess
very good
cool MAN your website is no.1
Your website is best helped me so much with Geography H.W ☻
Australia is capitalized :0
I think, this list is wrong, because according to my observations and knowledge, the fourth smallest one is Tuvalu Island with the area of 0.44 km-square.

Kralendijk,Bonaire has a population of 17000 people.

You missed the Faroe Islands with less than 50,000 people.
you missed Belize, with a population of 33,880, a total of 8,860 square mile and boasts the Great Blue Hole and the longest Barrier Reef in the Northwestern hemisphere. You need to come see.

There really is no such thing as “smallest” country by population. Small refers to SIZE not total population or population density of a certain country or area. Correct term of classification would be “least populated countries of the world”.
Good
Thank u
