My favorite microstate, San Marino is 24 square miles (61 square km) but still has a standing army. Being perched atop a looming mountain probably helps sovereignty as well.
Ha, well to be fair San Marino makes most of its money via minimal taxes compared to Italy and being very lovely. So if you’re ever in the area it’s recommended, even if it’s only to check off another country. 😉
Another geography lesson so I don’t need to go there myself.
Thanks
