Defined as sovereign states with a very small population, land area, or both, microstates serve as fascinating case studies of geopolitical significance. This atlas explores the unique history, politics, and self-determination of the world's smallest states.
Under what conditions do microstates form in the first place? Is there a correlation between the size of a political unit and its relative sovereignty? What contributes to the success of ministates, or, in certain cases, their failure?
From modern day city-states, island countries as well as sparsely populated territories, to historical anomalies, tax havens, aspirant states and micronations, this atlas considers a wide range of countries largely defined by their relative smallness.
A beautifully-designed collection ideal for those with an interest in geopolitics and cartographic curiosities, some of the microstates explored in this book include:
Liechtensteinone of the smallest countries in the world today - and also one of the wealthiest - with a territory that covers approximately 25km from north to south, the only country located entirely in the Alps
Cocos (Keeling) Islandsconsisting of two coral atolls with a total area of 14m2, where fewer than 600 people live and the majority of the population is Muslim
Couto Misto a de-facto semi-independent state which many believe had special sovereign rights granted to it by a 12th century princess, later disputed by Spain and Portugal and eventually partitioned in 1864
These along with many more examples are captured in this engaging atlas full of geographical intrigue.

Born in an area of constant political change in what was once Yugoslavia and is now Serbia, Zoran Nikolic saw the impact political change had on people's daily lives. This interest in geography extended outside Eastern Europe and became a lifetime fascination with borders and political geography.
