grin from the surface, it appears so. but look deeper, you will find out that those conditions was imposed on those countries by ex-colonial masters. e.g dont have a military, dont make arms, only fish and farm, use our currency etc

So is Monaco recognized as a country?

No

Just like Catalonia in spain

They are neighbors to Spain but they are not a country or officially recognized as one

So they are Spain as Monaco is france

100% recognised, they have head of state and their flag is red and white. They are even older as a country than some of their big alies. They have embassy in some countries.

Only Vatican city and Mauritius can be said to be fully neutral, the rest are indirectly partial since those you signed defence agreements with belong to the global West.

Shïthole countries like nigeria should have a good police system and jettison military work for powerful countries USA China etc

.. But will be forced to create theirs as populations explodes and provocations arises. On the other hand "it's he that has not experienced war that calls himself a man" (yorubaland proverb), if these tiny countries or the proud civilizations of the world with good shining m economic live and strong passport experiences just a quarter of what Nigeria has been through over the decades they wouldn't have existed but in all i thank god for Nigeria that it is still existing for now

ReubenE:
You used half of Bayelsa in your analogy cause Bayelsa is too small or too big?

If the HALF in your analogy is cause Bayelsa is small, then there are more than 10 states other than Bayelsa that is more fitting for that purpose.
Conversely, if the HALF is because Bayelsa is too big, there are more than 15 states more suited for your demonstration
You could come up with a better analogy instead of wanking on his analogy

You forgot to add Biafra Country.
The Nation has no Police, Airforce, No marine force, Just the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

So Lagos state is only 15m in population and una say Igbos plenty for Lagos
So what is the population of Yorubas in that Lagos and order Nigerians living in Lagos?

Costa Rica and Panama is already almost 10 million.
How he managed to get 6 million after adding every other country on the list on a data he provided himself is funny
