We all know which is the biggest Portuguese- speaking [Portuguesophone? Anyone know what the word is? ] country in the world but which is the smallest?

You meant " Portugophone " Fred.

In your question you don't mention if Portuguese has to be an official language of that country. Few people on some islands like bermuda or Island of Jersey speaks it. Andorra is very small and I beleive it is an official language there.

Ta for that.Portugophone it is then.

By Portuguese- speaking/ Portugophone I mean it has Portuguese as an official language.

[The official language of Andorra is Catalan (according to Wikipedia, anyway) Would have thought Spanish or even French would count too]

I found this about Andorra: Portuguese is one of the languages spoken in Andorra, a small nation in southern Europe. About ten percent of Andorra's population is Portuguese.

I will make an attempt and say Cape Verde.

It is also an official language in The Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China

The Portuguese must be tax evaders. Rich Britons often have property in Andorra That could be why there are Portuguese in Jersey, which is effectively a tax free haven within the British Isles and yet part of Britain (and Bermuda too,which recently had the world's highest GDP per head because of its 'financial status', though that's a lot to do with offshore companies). A more serious reason, at least in Jersey's case, is hotels: Portuguese families which settled there own serious amounts of hotel property which they also run there. Andorra also has a big tourist industry.Sixty per cent of Andorrans speak Spanish too, not surprising considering where Andorra is, but only 6 per cent speak French.[BBC figures on language]
