Nauru: A Small Island Republic in the Pacific

Nauru is an island nation located in the Micronesian archipelago in the west-central Pacific Ocean, one of the smallest island nations in the world, with a land area of only 21 square kilometers and a population of about 12,000 people. Surrounded by coral reefs and a phosphate deposit in the center of the island, Nauru was once one of the richest countries in the world due to phosphate mining, but after the depletion of its resources, the economy has transformed and is now reliant on Australian aid, fisheries and offshore finance. The official languages are English and Nauruan, and the capital, Aaron, is an inland village with no natural harbor. Nauru has a hot and humid climate, with an average annual temperature of about 27°C. Tourism is dominated by diving and bird-watching, and it also has historically close ties with Australia and is a member of the Commonwealth and the Pacific Islands Forum.
