Or "Germany."

(I'll just let myself out...)[/quote:1w9b2bhq]

How about "Former Frankish Empire"?/


Well that wasn't quite as big...

Well remember whatever you do, don't mention the war!

Or, for that matter, one that contains you.

FYF

Any Europeans without looking up any of the search engines know what the small state in the world is?

Vatican City
(assuming you mean the smallest state)

Smallest state in the USA: Rhode Island?

Correct.

Two cases:
-The person in a Texas Taxback place in San Antonio asked me what state Frankfurt was in... OK (not sure whether I said "Frankfurt, Germany" or not). But she then also asked what state Charlotte,NC was in !
-The person checking the passports prior to boarding in CLT seemed not to know that Ireland was in the EU and that I don't need proof that I live in Germany to board a plane to Frankfurt.
Both were perfectly understandable... If they were new in their jobs :dozey:
:sailor:

Incorrect with respect to the State.

Donkey, take a look at Illinois. They have a Marseilles, Ontario, Frankfurt, Des Plaines and many others. The pronunciation is quite funny.

Which one?

The Vatican City is normally listed as the smallest country in the world - if that is what you meant by "the small state in the world". It is officially named the "Vatican City State" and with an area of approximately 44 hectares and a population of around 840 it is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population.

Rhode Island has the smallest area of any of the 50 US states so it is normally listed as the smallest state in the USA - if that is what you meant by "the small state in the world" even though there is a world outside the USA. (Washington DC and various US-owned island territories are not states)
If you measure the size of a state by its population then Wyoming has the smallest population of the 50 US states.

However, if you meant the smallest "state in any country in the world" the answer may well be different and will depend how you equate an American State with what other countrises call provinces, counties, urbanisations, boroughs or other administrative terms.
