The smallest and largest countries in the world are in Europe. The biggest is Russia and the smallest is the Vatican City. In fact, it measures only 110 acres in total and has a tiny population of just more than 800 people. The Vatican City is found within Rome – the capital of Italy – , and it’s where the Pope is based, making it the home of Catholicism.
Thanks for being a Europhile, this rather comes as a rare experience these days. One would have to add to your post that, strictly speaking, Russia is only in Europe for its western part, located west of the Ural. Even though I’m not sure Russians would consider themselves as Europeans.
