The Republic of Nauru is in the geographic region of Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean, south of the Marshall Islands. This island nation, once known as Pleasant Island, is about 21 square kilometers with a population of about 11,000 people (2016). Nauru’s unemployment rate is about 90 percent, and citizens do not pay personal taxes. The literacy rate in Nauru is 96 percent.
Germany acquired Nauru under the 1886 Anglo-German Convention. During World War I, Australian forces captured the island from the Germans, and after the war, Australia administered Nauru. Japanese forces occupied Nauru during World War II. When the war ended, Nauru became a trustee of the United Nations. Nauru gained its independence in 1968 and is a member nation of the United Nations. The country is an island republic, with a president who is both head of government and chief of state.
In the past, Nauru gained its revenue from exporting phosphates. However, those reserves have been depleted, and there are very few other resources. Most goods are imported from Australia and the country’s income is mainly aid from Australia. Tourism does not contribute much to the economy. Tourist facilities are few. For those who visit this island, there are only two hotels, and deep-sea fishing is the main activity.
