BTW, Montenegro has only a little over *600,000* people. Can a modern independent country survive with so small a population?

It certainly seems so.

Cyprus, Bahrain, Luxembourg, Malta, Bahama, Iceland, Belize, Barbados, Andorra, Liechtenstein, and Monaco are some examples.

Yes, but what will be Montenegro's industry? I know, Cigarette - running from Italy and then resale to its neighbors.....not sure that will get them to Monaco or Bahrain's level of economic success any time soon...
