Well, let us know at the end of this video. Hey everybody. How's it going?
Welcome to FTD facts the channel where we talk about people cultures and places from all around the world now today
Yeah, as you see in the title and from my little intro a little segment
We are talking about those small little countries the ones that are actually believe it or not
They got some really cool facts about them and they might even surprise even you but my name is Dave Walpole
Oh, I think we should just get right into this video

Larger countries or maybe even look at even smaller islands around the world that you don't even know about
Well hit those like buttons guys because if you guys like these types of videos well
Then we know that we just got to do more because if we get like maybe like, you know
5,000 likes then I'll do like the smallest islands in the world that you should know about
All right, so we're gonna start off with the tenth smallest
Let's take a look at the country known as Malta now Malta is just wow one beautiful beautiful country
But don't take my word for it. Take a look for yourself
Of course Malta is just a beautiful place many people love to go on Instagram and put the hashtag
I'm at Malta because it's just so peaceful and elegant now
It has a type of government known as the Republic of Malta and the entire area consists of actually three islands
Located directly south of Italy and Sicily. It is actually part of the European Union, which I blew me away
I didn't actually think it was it is also considered one of the smallest and most densely populated
countries and
Islands with over four hundred and seventy-five thousand people as of a 2018 estimate and actually at one point
Malta was actually operated and pretty owned by the British
but then again
They pretty much owned half the world at one point and the island itself served as a station for the British Mediterranean fleet
but in today's world
It is now a major tourist attraction and home to over three UNESCO World Heritage Sites or zones
And as for some of the megalithic temples that are within Malta they are some of the oldest freestanding
buildings in the entire world and as for Malta she comes in a tent with
316 kilometers squared. All right moving right along. Let's take a look at the email dives in Maldives
I don't know exactly know how you pronounce it
I guess it changes from whatever accent or from whatever region you're from now
The Maldives is another amazing place to go for a vacation
It's famous for its peaceful little water huts or more correctly known as water villas
Which are located all over the amazing beaches within the country, of course
This is a place where many celebrities like to go and take a lot of photos but is located within the Indian Ocean
directly southwest of India now one fascinating thing about the Maldives is it's made up of
25 atolls which are rigid sharp reefs formed by coral and because of this it's considered one of the world's most
Geographically dispersed countries as well
It's one of the world's lowest countries coming in with an average height of 1.5 meters high not gonna lie guys
I would hate to be in the Maldives in the middle of typhoon
season or whenever there's you know a tsunami because I feel like a wave would just
Take all those water Hudson just wash them right away
but because of its major importance it actually also has 31 protected areas within the country and
for the size of this country it comes in at
298 kilometres square coming up at number 8. We've got st. Kitts and Nevis
Now this is one where I can actually say I've had the pleasure to travel to st. Kitts is
Man, it's just a beautiful beautiful island
I was there for one day and I loved every second of it and I would love to go back
Located in the Caribbean near the British and virgin US islands
It has the reputation of being the smallest sovereign state within the Western Hemisphere in land and population
It is also one of the first islands to have been settled by the Europeans when it came to American
Exploration and currently to date it operates with in common. Well rulz, that's right Queen Elizabeth
Number two is actually the head of state for this country. And as of
2016 it is estimated that it has approximately
54,000
821 people and a land size of
261 kilometres square number seven
The Marshall Islands located northeast of Papua New Guinea near the Federated States of Micronesia
The Marshall Islands are spread over 29 coral atolls and it is also one beautiful place with over one thousand
156 individual islands and an estimated population of
53,000 66 people this little island might surprise you because it is home to the world's largest
shark sanctuary
coming in with an estimated two million seven hundred thousand to four million six hundred thousand square kilometers of
Protected waters and if one is to go shark fishing in the Marshall Islands
They have to do a catch and release system and the Marshall Islands comes in at seventh with
181 point four three kilometres square number six Liechtenstein's a nice little landlocked
Country settled within the heart of Europe not actually a country with sandy beaches
But it's pretty in its own way with its mountainous terrain
Liechtenstein's is known for its constitutional monarchy headed by the Prince of Legion Stein
Economically this country has one of the highest GDP s per capita
Based off of the purchasing power parity and for this GDP per capita according to the CIA World Factbook
It's number one in the world. And as of
2018 that GDP was 98 thousand two hundred and thirty two dollars
Also, this country stands out strong as having the lowest unemployment rate in the entire world coming in at 1.5 percent
keep in mind that is coming from a country that has a population of
38,000
111 people and despite its population size. There may be something to learn from this country
But as for Liechtenstein's land size
it comes in at 160 kilometres square number five San Marino a country that is surrounded completely by Italy and is located in the
northeastern part of the country
Although it is one of the most prosperous countries when it comes to the GDP and GDP per capita with purchasing power
Parity it very much like Legion Stein also has the lowest employment rates in all of Europe and above
All San Marino is a country that is not listed to have any debt. Now. Keep in mind
That's because there's really no actual reports based off of it
But right now it has no debt at least officially strangely enough out of every country in the world
This is the highest amount of vehicles per person reports say this country has one
Thousand two hundred and sixty three cars per 1000 people also that means there's just more cars than there are people that's nuts
but overall San Marino has a population of thirty three thousand two hundred and eighty-five people as of a
2016 estimate and its land size comes in at sixty one point two kilometers square number four Tuvalu
located directly east of the Solomon Islands and kind of
southeast of those Marshall Islands that we just talked about and for the longest time it was under the British rule until of
October 1st of
1978 and by the year 2000 it became its own independent nation and although a very beautiful island
It is not really a big place that people go to visit on vacation
but that may change in years currently the population of this country sits at only ten thousand six hundred and forty people as of a
2012 estimate and it has a land size of 26 kilometres square number three. Now. This one's gonna be a hard one to pronounce
It's I think pronounced now rourou. I hope I got that one right also located near Tuvalu
It was settled by the people from Micronesia and Polynesia as far back as 1000 BC
Now it was claimed by the German Empire in the 19th century
But after World War one it was given to Australia as for now rumor
It's also seen some history in the Second World War as it was occupied by Japanese soldiers
And although most of the Navy actually bypassed this island
it was in 1968 that the country gained its own independence and by that time the country was also heavily dependent on
phosphate reserves the country also has a population of ten thousand eighty four people and unfortunately,
currently this country doesn't have enough money to have a fully functioning government simply because the phosphate reserves were tapped dry and
Thus in today's world about 90 percent of the country is unemployed
And as for this country, it has a land size of 21 kilometers square number two. We're getting it right there
We got to talk about Monaco. Oh, yeah
Located east right beside nice France and along the border of Italy and of course right on the side of the Mediterranean Sea
This is one country that many people will know not only is it one of the smallest countries but it is also the second smallest
But most densely populated country in the world a place that is known for its money as thirty percent of the population
Has been classified as millionaires and even though it is a rich country
It is actually not part of the EU and many of you may wonder why is this country? Not part of France?
Well, it gained its independence in 1911 and also besides hosting the Grand Prix every single year
It is also a country that has no tax or low business taxes
Thus making it a tax haven for many businesses around the world
currently Monaco has a population of 38,000 four hundred people on a land size of
2.0 to zero kilometers square and number one the last and smallest country on the entire planet is Vatican City
Indeed you probably guessed this one and of course a place that is ruled by the Pope would need to have its own sort of
government similar to San Marino
It is a country that is completely surrounded by Italy
With a population of easily estimated 1000 people the country itself is basically one giant
UNESCO World Heritage Site, but as for the smallest nation in the world
It gained its independence on February 11th
1929 and even during the Second World War German troops might have occupied the city
But they respected its position on neutrality. And for this country. It makes up most of its money from people visiting museums
Buying post stamps and cards and other items of tourism. And as for the Vatican City, it comes in at the smallest at
0.44 kilometers square so there you have it guys. That is a look at some of these smallest countries in the entire world
