Mehr als fünf Monate lang bereiste der Autor Europa und besuchte alle souveränen "Zwergstaaten" und autonomen Regionen mit weniger als einer Million Einwohnern sowie einige der sogenannten Mikronationen. Im ersten Teil der Reise traf er unter anderen viele freundliche Luxemburger, die Präsidentin der freien Republik Saugeais, ehemalige Bankiers aus der Schweiz und Liechtenstein, etliche Teilnehmer der Spiele der kleinen Staaten in Montenegro, Mönche und Pilger am Berg Athos, Zyprer, Malteser sowie Menschen im Vatikan, San Marino und Monaco. Von diesen Begegnungen erzählt der Autor nun in diesem Buch und vermittelt einen Einblick in Geschichte und Gegenwart der kleinen Staaten Europas.
