Living in Nauru

Situated in Micronesia in the Central Pacific, Nauru is the third smallest state with only 11347 people in a 21 square kilometre area; it is only larger than Vatican City and Monaco. Geographically, it is a fairly difficult island to inhabit, with its surrounding coral reef preventing any large seaports, its only fertile soil being situated on the coastal belts and limited natural freshwater sources, meaning the islanders rely on desalination of sea water. The island has a colonial history, annexed by the German Empire in the late 1800s, then following World War One becoming a League of Nations mandate controlled by Australia, New Zealand and Britain. In World War Two, it was occupied by the Japanese, but following the end of the war, finally gained independence in 1968. Most of the islanders are ethnically Nauran, but 42% are other Pacific islanders, European or Han Chinese. Despite this, English is widely spoken due to Nauran being uncommon outside of the country. Unfortunately, Nauru’s history has displaced its culture, so few of the old traditions remain intact, aside from some traditional music, crafts and fishing. The economy has been largely dependent on the phosphate deposits on the island, with few other resources. Income is generated from the Nauru detention centre for immigrants, where Australia holds immigrants offshore. Aside from this, there is no major source of income aside from the phosphate mining in Nauru.
