Population: In a world where population growth is rampant, governments are grappling with the challenges it poses. India has notably surged ahead, surpassing China as the most populous country globally. Yet, there exist countries whose population is even less than that of a single district in India. Let’s delve into these nations today.
The Least Populated Countries
Did you know that some countries have a population of less than a hundred thousand? Yes, indeed, even fewer than a district in India. Topping the list of the least populated countries is Liechtenstein, nestled between Switzerland and Austria. Astonishingly, this European nation houses merely 40,000 inhabitants. It gained independence from Germany on August 5, 1866.
Following closely on this list is Monaco, located between France and Italy. With a population of just 36,000, Monaco stands as the second smallest country in the world. Renowned worldwide for its beauty, this country is often associated with its luxurious lifestyle.
Other Countries with Minimal Population
Apart from these, Greenland, famous for its adventure trips, also boasts a population less than that of a district in India. Surprisingly, the population of Greenland stands at 56,000. With 85% of its landmass covered in ice, Greenland offers breathtaking views, adorned with glaciers in many places. Situated in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, Greenland, despite its name, doesn’t always reflect its lush greenery.
