European microstates

European microstates are very small countries, made of just a few cities and towns. They don't have big armies or a lot of people living in them, but they do have their own governments and laws. Some of these countries are so small that they are only a few kilometers wide! The European microstates are Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City. All these countries are very different in size and culture, but they all have something in common: they are tiny countries that are part of Europe.
