The Sovereign Military Order of the Hospitallers of ST. John of Jerusalem (Knights of Malta)
CONSISTS OF THREE BUILDINGS in Rome,
but they have extra-territoriality:
The Palazzo Malta in Via dei Condotti 68 (where the Grand Master resides and Government Bodies meet),
and the Villa Malta on the Aventine (which hosts the Grand Priory of Rome,
the Embassy of the Order to Holy See and the Embassy of the Order to Italy).
They have observer status at the UN, but not membership.

They were originally a military monastic order in Jerusalem at the time of the Third Crusade.
When Jerusalem fell to the Saracens they moved to Rhodes and when that fell to the Turks, they moved to Malta.
They are now a fraternal organization only.

The Vatican is always the smallest. Its frontier line is 2m and its diameter around 1m. Basically, you can walk from one side to another in 15 minutes at a very easy pace.

It's still Vatican City.

I think Nauru is smaller. I dunno what kind of nation status the Vatican City has, but I don't think it's a member of the United Nations or the International Olympic Comittee.
