Taiwan is not a UN member state and is claimed by China, meaning some class it as disputed territory rather than it’s own country. However Taiwan has a population north of 23 million, a strong economy, and enough recognition to be seen as a country by enough to be included in a list of the smallest countries in Asia. Although it is important to not...
You might not consider Israel to be an Asian country by virtue of it being a Mediterranean state and bordering Egypt. But the fact remains that Israel is in Asia, although on the crossroads between that and Africa. In fact several other of the smallest countries in Asia can be found in the middle east, as you’ll see further down this list. Israel i...
I did say several of the smallest countries in Asia happen to be middle-eastern, and here is the proof. Kuwait is the tiny but rich nation sandwiched between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Most of her wealth comes from the vast amount of oil to be found there, but also because Kuwait has a lot of coast. In fact it’s largest cities are on the coast, giving ...
Timor Leste is one of the lesser known countries of the world. It is also one of the youngest. Timor Leste became a country in 1975. But just one year later Indonesia annexed the tiny state by force. From then until 1999 it was ruled by Indonesia, but the international community never accepted this, and nor did the people of Timor Leste. In 1999 th...
Qatar has it’s own peninsula, which not a lot of countries can say. However the Qatar peninsula is tiny. Bordering only Saudi Arabia, this tiny coastal nation has a total land area of just 11,586 square kilometres. Yet over two million people call Qatar home, making it a surprisingly densely populated little state. Another surprise is how rich Qata...
At just 10 and a half thousand square kilometers, Lebanon clearly ranks among the smallest countries in Asia. But is it in Asia? Well Lebanon is at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, just like Turkey. But unlike Turkey, Lebanon has no European lands so it’s fair to call it an Asian country. In fact, Lebanon is the smallest internationally recognize...
Brunei is a tiny nation on Borneo island, completely surrounded by Malaysia. Strangely, Brunei is vastly wealthy thanks to it’s large oil reserves. Why do all the smallest countries in Asia seem to always have so much oil? It’s weird. At 5765 square kilometres, Brunei is small enough to be the only country entirely located within Borneo island. Bru...
Just off the coast of Saudi Arabia is an island nation so small it makes Qatar look big. That nation is Bahrain, yet another oil rich absolute monarchy in the gulf of Persia. Bahrain is just 765 square kilometers, which is ridiculously small. Yet Bahrain has a population of over 1.4 million – about half of which is made up of immigrants. The number...
At 716 square kilometers, Singapore is a lot smaller than you might assume. Singapore is a well known country, partly because it’s economy is so strong, but also due to it’s diplomatic strength. Few nations enjoy the diplomatic sway of Singapore, which can be seen in the strength of the Singapore passport and the fact so many diplomatic meetings ar...
The Maldives is the smallest country is Asia at just 300 square kilometers. It is also the smallest country is Asia by population, being home to just 440 thousand people. It’s such a small and remote country you might not even know it exists. The Maldives is actually 26 Atolls in the Indian Ocean. Being over 600 miles from the Asian continent, it’s...

Mar 25, 2024 · How small is small? For some of the world’s countries, the answer is very, very small, even teeny tiny. Vatican City holds the title as the world’s smallest country, with an area of just 0.17 square mile (0.44 square km). As a point of comparison, the largest country in the world, Russia, is almost 39 million times bigger.
