28th I believe, 27th is mauritius (luxembourg is about a quarter bigger than mauritius).

It ís the smallest country that isnt considered a micro-nation or an island country though. That must count for something ;)

Not before; Mauritius, Comoros, Sao tomé, Kiribati, Bahrain, Dominica and Tonga. So if it was a top 30 list and not top 20, it would just make it.

Somehow people in this comment section are quite obsessed with Luxembourg and Mauritius :) (and none of the ones inbetween)

So he should have physically made the country smaller himself by digging away land so it could be on the list? Thats quite a lot of work for a quiz.. even if you disregard the paperwork involved.

Since I already have the tab open: Vanuatu would be 39th (So even lower than Jamaica which sits at 36) with an area of approximately 1200 km²

ESwatini may be tiny by African standards, but it is HUGE by the standards of this list. It is more than two and a half times the size of all of the countries in the area section of this quiz combined! At 17,364 km2, it is not even the smallest country on Mainland Africa - that's Gambia at 10,380 km2. But yeah, compared to South Africa it's pretty small - just 1.42% of its area.

Missed out on Dominica and Tuvalu. The former is not to be confused with the fellow Caribbean nation of the Dominican Republic. Otherwise l knew l was missing at least one Polynesian nation but insisted on typing Vanuatu (l knew at the back of my mind it had a similar name). The list basically comprises the microstates and principalities of Europe and the smaller island nations of the Carribbean, Indian Ocean and South Pacific.
