Several years ago during our port day in Funchal, Madeira (Portugal), we made a stop at the "micronation" of Pontinha. Although we got our passports stamped, the country of Portugal had not officially recognized Pontinha's Declaration of Independence (so maybe we were still in Portugal!). At the time of our visit, the population was 4 - all one family.
Walking past Pontinha during our port day this past November brought back memories of our prior visit. Unfortunately the "islet" was closed to visitors so we couldn't find out any updates on the status!
Have you visited any tiny countries?
