Exploring Nauru: The World’s Smallest Island Nation
1. Geography and Size
Nauru is a tiny island country in the Pacific Ocean, covering just 21 square kilometers. It’s the third smallest country in the world by area, located northeast of Australia. Despite its size, Nauru boasts stunning beaches and a unique, rugged landscape.
2. History and Independence
Originally inhabited by Micronesian and Polynesian peoples, Nauru was colonized by Germany, administered by Australia, and occupied by Japan during World War II. It gained independence in 1968, becoming one of the world’s smallest independent nations.
3. Economy and Phosphate Mining
Nauru’s economy historically thrived on phosphate mining, derived from bird guano deposits. However, over-exploitation has depleted resources, leading to economic challenges. The government now focuses on diversifying income through offshore processing centers and investment programs.
4. Citizenship by Investment Program
Nauru recently introduced the Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program (NECRCP). This initiative offers citizenship to investors, emphasizing sustainability and climate resilience. It provides visa-free travel to 89 countries, including the UK and UAE, making it an attractive option for global mobility.
