Sovereign State of the Bektashi Order

The Sovereign State of the Bektashi Order (Albanian: Shteti Sovran i Urdhrit Bektashi; sq) is a proposed microstate and city-state entirely within Tirana, the capital of Albania, at the current World Headquarters of the religion of Bektashism. It would be smaller than the Vatican City and become the sovereign state with the smallest land area in the world, with a total land area of 11 hectares (27 acres).[1]
