Paesi Meno Popolosi del Mondo

I paesi meno popolosi del mondo sono un'affascinante miscela di piccole città-stato, nazioni insulari remote e microstati. La Città del Vaticano, con meno di 1.000 residenti, è la più piccola per popolazione, seguita da nazioni insulari come Nauru, Tuvalu e Palau. Molti di questi paesi affrontano sfide uniche tra cui vulnerabilità ai cambiamenti climatici, diversificazione economica limitata e dipendenza dagli aiuti esteri.
