Other descriptions of Nauru The Republic of Nauru (pronounced nah-OO-roo), formerly known as Pleasant Island, is an island republic in the South Pacific Ocean . It is one of the world's smallest independent countries both in terms of population and land area and the smallest independent republic in both terms. It is also the smallest non-European country (in terms of land area). In a broad definition a republic is a state or country that is led by people who do not base their political power on any principle beyond the control of the people living in that state or country. ...

Nauru - A Modern-Day Pacific Adventure By John Fowler Not only was I aware of the search and its difficulties, but I also thought that I had a solution that would make everyone happy. In a nutshell, my thoughts were to move the population of Nauru to the Marquesas in French Polynesia, and in the process create a new Pacific island state embracing the two peoples. Certainly the idea had its merits, the Marquesans had more land than they knew what to do with but no money to develop it or support a government. In turn, the Nauruans had money but not the land; in theory it appeared to be a good match. At this stage I had another project in mind as well, which was the creation by Nauru of a musuem featuring the traditional arts and culture of the Pacific. Actually, part of my fascination with the Pacific revolved around its incredibly rich traditional culture which in turn had led me to a career as a collector/dealer of Oceanic art. Not only did I feel such a museum was a very worthwhile project for Nauru, I also felt that this proposal would serve to establish at least some measure of confidence before I approached anyone with my somewhat unorthodox idea for a new Nauruan homeland. Obviously the first step was to make the aquaintance (at least by telephone) of H.E. Hammer DeRoburt, at that time Nauru's most excellent President and father of its independence.

Economic Overview of the Republic of Nauru Economic Profile on Nauru A brief overview about the socio-economic environment of Nauru, recent economic activity, and issues. When Paradise Is Not Enough The Pacific Island of Nauru used to be idyllic. Once known as the "Pleasant Island", its people lived from the sea with white beaches and palm trees. Today, however, years of phosphate mining have devastated it. Jocelyn Carlin, of CWM Inside Out Magazine (September 2001 Issue) , asks whether Nauru will recover.

Home The Mission Statements at the UN Country Profile ... Pacific Island Forum Country Profile and National Anthem Overview Named by its first European visitors as Pleasant Island, Nauru is an island of extraordinary history and contrasts. Lying some 42 kilometers south of the Equator at a longitude of 166 o 55' east, the island of Nauru - an uplifted coral formation - is some 21 kilometers square and home to one of the smallest nations on earth. Nauru shares an overwhelming geographic isolation with her scattered island neighbours. The most immediate neighbour is Australia, over 4,000 kilometers away. Despite its small size and isolation, Nauru's story is one of monumental dimensions. Colonial annexation, world war, the the discovery of phosphate and a century's worth of mining have moulded a nation with a distinct history facing a unique future. History Due to its isolation, Nauru had remained free from European influence for longer than other larger Pacific Islands. When named by the4 first Europeans to visit Nauru in 1798 as Pleasant Island, Nauru was an island of lush tropical vegetation and friendly indigenous inhabitants. Early visitors were mainly whalers and then later traders in search of treasures of the Pacific. In the late 19 century, Germany and Britain expanded their empires causing friction between the two in the Pacific. As a result, the region was divided into two spheres of influence by the imperial powers - Nauru failing under the German sphere of interest. The berlin Anglo-German Convention that carved this invisible line across the Pacific was to shape Nauru's future with great effect.

Gowdy Paradise for Sale A Parable of Nature Back to description Chapter 2: Progress Comes to Nauru The blanketing of european influence across the South Seas commenced on November 28, 1520, when the , the Trinidad , and the Victoria under the command of Ferdinand Magellan sailed into the Pacific Ocean through the strait that now bears his name. Magellan's ships ventured into a vast, uncharted ocean as they sailed up the South American coast and then out across the Pacific Ocean. After six weeks, provisions were exhausted, and crew members began to die. The island of Pukapuka provided water and turtle eggs, but after several more weeks of sailing west all provisions were exhausted. With only old leather, sawdust, and rats to eat, most of the crew became sick with scurvy and starved. More died, and the rest were saved from a similar fate only by eating the fresh fruits and vegetables given them by the natives of Guam in the Marianas. From the east Europeans had entered an immense ocean whose islands had been populated thousands of years earlier by people who sailed from the west. The first Europeans in the Pacific survived because of the generosity and hospitality of the islanders. Almost three hundred years passed after Magellan's voyage before a Western ship happened upon Nauru. On November 8, 1798, the whaling ship

Simply put, they believe Nauru symbolizes our global island of limited natural resources and distinctive cultures in danger of being overexploited and homogenized by rampant capitalism. Relatedly, the book explores different cultures' worldviews (or "myths") and examines how seemingly inherent (and mostly unquestioned) cultural cosmologies determine humans' interactions with the natural world and the sustainability of the society in the long term. Biologist Carl N McDaniel, director of undergraduate environmental science, and economist John M Gowdy, director of the PhD program in ecological economics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have written numerous works focusing on the negative environmental impacts of current economic systems and explored various alternative approaches they feel can lead to greater sustainability. They bring considerable knowledge to the general topics explored in this book.

But already there is disquiet on the island about the budget the Scotty Government brought down last week. That reform budget increased prices, limited pay and cut land lease payments to landowners by three-quarters.

Large Load, Heavy Soil, High Spin: Nauru's accommodating approach to money launderers lands it between a rock and a hard place. Time International; February 28, 2000; Feizkhah, Elizabeth Feizkhah, Elizabeth Time International February 28, 2000 The people of Nauru were once renowned for their hospitality. When a British naval ship visited the central Pacific atoll in 1843, the captain reported that Pleasant Island, as it was then known, harbored several Europeans, "who are either escaped convicts or runaways from whale ships." Constantly drunk on coconut wine, these men "committed the worst crimes." Yet the natives continued to tolerate them; indeed, by 1871 one ex-convict had become the island's king. Now a new breed of ruffian is putting Nauru's forgiving culture to the test. According to the U.S. State Department and the Russian central bank, criminals have been exploiting the indulgent banking rules of Nauru and other tiny South Pacific nations to hide billions of dollars in illicit funds. While its neighbors have taken at least some steps toward foiling such abuses, says an Australian regulatory official, "Nauru is nowhere near doing so." But in the age of the Internet, one country's open
