Norfolk Island, External territory in South Pacific Ocean, Australia
Norfolk Island extends across 34.6 square kilometers of land between New Zealand and New Caledonia, containing the settlements of Kingston and Burnt Pine.
Captain James Cook discovered the island in 1774, leading to its establishment as a British penal settlement from 1788 until 1855.
The population includes descendants of Bounty mutineers who relocated from Pitcairn Island in 1856, maintaining their distinct Norfuk language and traditions.
Visitors reach the island through flights from Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland, with accommodation options ranging from guesthouses to resort facilities.
The Territory comprises three landmasses: the main Norfolk Island, the neighboring Phillip Island, and Nepean Island, forming a distinct ecological system.

This collection encompasses the world's smallest countries and territories by land area, measured including lakes and rivers within their borders. The list features both independent sovereign states and dependent territories with varying political statuses. From Vatican City at 0.4 square kilometers to Monaco and San Marino in Europe, and island nations in the Caribbean such as Saint Kitts and Nevis, this selection demonstrates the geographic diversity of compact territories. The European microstates offer medieval fortifications, princely palaces, and modern financial districts within limited spaces. Pacific atolls like Nauru and Tuvalu present coral formations and tropical coastlines, while Caribbean islands combine volcanic mountains, rainforests, and colonial architecture. Despite their limited size, these countries and territories maintain their own governmental systems, cultures, and economic models ranging from tourism and financial services to fishing and agriculture.
