The Vatican City, but that's kind of a cheat. The second smallest is Monaco. In terms of population it's Tuvalu, some islands in the Pacific.

@Tracos They are a British Territory, I was only counting independent countries.

S.M.O.M. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (not the island country of Malta) exists in a filing cabinet in the Vatican. The entity of S.M.O.M. issues knighthoods and has other administrative functions and is only a "country" due to its sovereign status.
