Country Profile |
 Flag of Nauru Background: The smallest republic in the world, with a single island of just 21 sq km. Therfore this page is also very small but well-elaborated. Nauru achieved independence in 1968 and joined the UN in 1999. Revenues of the island have come from exports of phosphates, but reserves are nearing exhaustion in 2005. Since few other resources exist Nauru relies on imports for almost everything, mainly from Australia, the islands former occupier and later major source of support. In 2001 Nauru signed an agreement with Australia to accommodate more than 1000 asylum seekers on the island, in return for millions of dollars in aid. related countries: Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom other nations of Micronesia: Guam, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Federated States of), Northern Mariana Islands, Palau |
