| The Smallest Populated Country in the World. Vatican City |
After watching a YouTube video where travelers were exploring Luxembourg, it got me wondering what the smallest populated country in the world is.
Luxembourg has a lot of out-of-country workers during the week, but they don't necessarily live there, in fact, a lot of people commute to Luxembourg during the week from surrounding countries to work there.
Luxembourg's population, as of 2022, was around 646,000 people. Source: https://statistiques.public.lu/
