Synopsis
Bronwen Maddox, chief foreign commentator of The Times, asks if small nations can survive as independent states.
Tiny states like Liechtenstein, Brunei and Monaco give hope to independence movements elsewhere that size does not matter. Bronwen Maddox asks if the world's smallest countries are quite as independent as they appear and examines the difficulties of being small but truly sovereign.
