Question: Which two countries are smaller than 1 square mile? 

Answer: Vatican City and Monaco are the only countries smaller than 1 square mile. Vatican City—just 0.27 square miles and tucked inside Rome—is the world’s smallest nation and the spiritual headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, led by the Pope. Monaco, at 0.77 square miles along the French Riviera, ranks second and is famous for Monte Carlo, luxury living, and its ultra-wealthy residents.
