Nauru

Nauru / The Happy Island or Delightful Island is an island country located in Micronesia, in the Pacific Ocean. The nearest islands are Banaba Island in the Republic of Kiribati, which is 300 km east. Nauru is the smallest island country in the world with an area of ​​21 km²

Nauru is formed from an atoll shaped oval located to the south of the equator, and the island rises mostly to about 60 meters above sea level, and the island of Nauru is surrounded by a plateau rich in phosphate deposits, and near the center of the plateau there is a shallow lake, surrounded by a small area of ​​fertile land Another belt of fertile land stretches around the sandy, sandy beach. From the highest elevations in the island, one of the regions on the edge of the plateau reaches a height of 61 meters above sea level

Nauru Island is dominated by a seasonal continental climate. The trade winds soften it, with temperatures ranging between 24-34 ° C. The rain water level is estimated at 200 cm annually, and the rainy season on Nauru Island extends between November and February

The economy of Nauru is totally dependent on phosphates, and this phosphate is caused by the droppings of marine birds. Nauru had a huge wealth of phosphates generating great returns on it and now it is almost bankrupt to the extent that it cannot manage the expenses of gasoline. The fuel oil needed to run the electricity generators is scarce, and with the depleted phosphate reserve, the population of 12,000 no longer has any alternative to the mining industry that turned the island into a barren land that forced them to import preserved foodstuffs linked to the spread of the diabetes epidemic between them. There are no taxes on individuals in Nauru. The unemployment rate in Nauru is estimated at 90%

Most of the working population works in state institutions at a rate (95%) of the total workforce

There is no other export alternative for the island's residents who fell while searching for new sources of income in the clutches of money laundering networks. Nauru became famous for that in the ninth decade of the twentieth century as one of the famous countries for money laundering and tax havens, and the US Treasury estimates that about $ 70 billion has moved through The island from Russia in 1998 alone. Currently, Nauru covers the remains of mines and weeds

Nauru has lived on mining a good type of phosphate since 1907. It was extracted by British and New Zealand companies and then Nauru began to exploit it after independence in 1968. In the early 1990s, former Nauru colonists signed a compensation agreement with the island of A $ 107 million ($ 57.8 million) in royalties The land lease built a two billion Australian dollar balances

The Republic has an estimated population of about 14,000, and despite this small number, Nauru suffers from the migration of the local population towards the nearby islands. Most Nauru residents condemn Christianity, with minorities of Baha’ism 10% and Hinduism. The Nauru constitution provides for freedom to practice religion, but this law sometimes restricts, and we find that in the majority of the large and sensitive center of the state and Nauru phosphate companies are in the hands of individuals from the Christian faith. Education in Nauru is compulsory for children aged 5-15

One of the most visited sites is the effects of the Pacific War, such as the Japanese army fortifications along the coast, as well as the phosphate mines on the island and how to exploit them. Chinese meals are available

The Nurunian beaches can be seen by the visitor in the Anebarah Bay area in the north, where there is the only hotel in the area and there are also accommodations for the tourist. On the south of the island, visitors view the phosphate mines, as well as the indigenous population, as if it were living moments in a healthy environment, free from any interference by humans in polluting the healthy nature
