What is the capital of country with fewest resident embassies. I have one example but will add it as answer later (if no one mention it). By country I accept the definition and list of Wikipedia

If this question is serious, you would have to define "country" first. There are places like Sealand which claim to be sovereign, but hardly anybody else agrees and they get zero embassies from serious countries. – o.m. Jan 18 '20 at 18:37

7I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is a political trivia question, with no impact on Travel. – o.m. Jan 18 '20 at 18:38

2@o.m., when you travel you may need support from embassy. So IMO it is related. – Romeo Ninov Jan 18 '20 at 18:40

@o.m., I add my understanding of country. – Romeo Ninov Jan 18 '20 at 18:44

Not really, because many countries have agreements in this regard. Just one EU embassy can help people from all 28 (soon to be 27) member states. – o.m. Jan 18 '20 at 18:44

@o.m., did you try this. In most of the cases you will reach language barrier. in EU there are 24 languages so "EU embassy" may not be so helpful – Romeo Ninov Jan 18 '20 at 18:48

1I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it’s purpose and usefulness isn’t clear and the answer is likely to change over time – Traveller Jan 18 '20 at 18:53

@Traveller: It's a factoid question rather than a "problem I'm facing" question. It never makes much sense to me when we accept factoid questions and when we reject them. I just go along with the consensus. But as for answers that are likely to change over time, that is definitely not a reason to disallow questions here and we've discussed it over the years. Just about any practical question asked on this site has a changeable answer. – hippietrail Jan 19 '20 at 22:33

To all close voters: if my question is not appropriate here, why this one survive and become popular in SE? https://travel.stackexchange.com/q/152355/107380 – Romeo Ninov Jan 20 '20 at 06:49

You can try beating Andorra which has a Spanish and a French embassy. And Monaco has three embassies, but only one (Malta) in the capital Monte Carlo. Your question is a bit unclear there.

Two countries do not have resident embassies in capitals: Vatican and Liechtenstein. To be precise Vatican have embassies, but in Rome, not in the city itself. For reference here

Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria has no embassies.
Interestingly, Transnistria does have three embassies of its own though: Abkhazia, Russia, and South Ossetia.
Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh also has no embassies.
Yes these are not widely recognized countries...
So I kept looking and found that
Alofi, the capital of Niue, has one high commission and no embassies. Any embassies of the country are non-resident embassies, located elsewhere.
I wouldn't be surprised if other tiny island nations also have none, but I stopped looking.

@RomeoNinov Transnistria is absolutely on your list, in "Other States" section. – alamar Jan 18 '20 at 21:46
