7 Daftar Negara Terkecil Di Dunia

Mungkin tidak banyak yang tahu kalau di dunia ini ternyata ada 7 negara terkecil di dunia yang luasnya tidak lebih dari 200 square miles atau sekitar 300-an km2. Dari Negara-negara itu yang terkecil adalah Vatican yang hanya 0,2 square miles, dan terluas adalah Republik Palau atau popular dengan sebutan Negara Belau, 191 square miles (tidak sampai 500 km2).

Jadi kalau dikira-kira rata-rata luas 7 negara itu hanya setengah Kota Jakarta (650 km2). Bahkan beberapa Negara luasnya mungkin bi bawah 1/3 Jakarta. ‘Mungil’ banget ya!! Bandingkan dengan Singapura, yang juga dikenal sbg Negara kecil. Singapura yang rajin reklamasi untuk memperluas negaranya, memiliki luas sekitar 637 km2, sedikit di bawah Jakarta.

Untuk lebih jelas, ikuti penjelasan ini. Bandingkan dengan luas Indonesia yg konon mencapai 1919440 km2. Wowww Indonesia jadi seperti ‘negara raksasa’ dibanding negara2 mungil itu.

Nah untuk lebih lengkap berikut daftar Negara terkecil di dunia plus map dan foto profil Negara.
