What are the five smallest Spanish speaking countries?

It's impossible to definitively say which are the five *smallest* Spanish-speaking countries because "smallest" can refer to either:

* Land area: This is usually what people mean when they say "smallest."

* Population: This is a different measure of size.

Here are some of the smallest Spanish-speaking countries by each measure, but remember that this can vary depending on the sources you use:

By Land Area:

1. Andorra: This microstate in the Pyrenees Mountains is the smallest in Europe.

2. Liechtenstein: While not officially Spanish-speaking, Liechtenstein has a significant Spanish-speaking population.

3. Tuvalu: This Pacific island nation is the fourth smallest country in the world by land area.

4. Nauru: Another Pacific island nation, Nauru is the third smallest country in the world by land area.

5. San Marino: This microstate in Italy is the fifth smallest country in the world by land area.

By Population:

1. Nauru: This island nation has a very small population.

2. Tuvalu: This nation also has a very small population.

3. Andorra: While not the smallest by land area, Andorra has a relatively small population.

4. San Marino: This microstate has a population of less than 35,000.

5. Liechtenstein: While not officially Spanish-speaking, Liechtenstein has a relatively small population.

Important Note: There is no definitive list of the "five smallest" as the size of countries can be measured in different ways.
