Map of the small states

Ten countries of the small states. Tap each on the map; a miss shows where it really is.

Twenty-nine countries smaller than 3,000 square kilometres, from Vatican City to island nations of the Caribbean and the Pacific. On the map each one is a dot to tap.

29 countries make up this region. Start from the big ones: Samoa is the largest by area and a good anchor for the rest. The smallest, Vatican City, may need a zoom and a tap on its dot.

Singapore has the largest population here and Tuvalu the smallest, a reminder that size on the map and size in people are two different things.
