Extractions: Nauru Nauru is a small oval-shaped island in the western Pacific Ocean, located just 42 kilometers (26 mi.) south of the Equator. It is one of three great phosphate rock islands in the Pacific Oceanthe others are Banaba (Ocean Island) in Kiribati and Makatea in French Polynesiathough its phosphate reserves are nearly depleted. Phosphate mining in the central plateau has left a barren terrain of jagged coral pinnacles, up to 15 meters (49 ft.) high. A century of mining has stripped and devastated four-fifths of the total land area. The island is surrounded by a coral reef, exposed at low tide and dotted with pinnacles. The reef is bounded seaward by deep water, inside by a sandy beach. A 150-300-meter (492-984 ft.) wide fertile coastal strip lies landward from the beach. Coral cliffs surround the central plateau. The highest point of the plateau is 65 meters (213 ft.) above sea level. The only fertile areas are the narrow coastal belt, where there are coconut palms, pandanus trees and indigenous hardwoods, and the land surrounding Buada lagoon, where bananas, pineapples, and some vegetables are grown. Some secondary vegetation grows over the coral pinnacles.

Extractions: ENCYCLOPEDIA Pacific Islands Political Geography Nauru Related Category: Pacific Islands Political Geography Nauru Pronunciation Key , officially Republic of Nauru, atoll and independent republic (1995 est. pop. 10,000), c.8 sq mi (20 sq km), central Pacific, just south of the equator and west of the Gilbert Islands of Kiribati . It was formerly called Pleasant Island. Yaren is the capital. There is a narrow band of habitable land along the coast; the island's interior is environmentally devastated as a result of phosphate mining. The country is a parliamentary republic with a president (administrator), elected by the legislative council, and a small cabinet. Nauruans are predominantly Polynesian, with heavy intermixtures of Micronesian and Melanesian strains. Nauru is important for its high-grade phosphate deposits, now nearly exhausted. Nauru has few other resources and must import virtually all necessities. The country has placed much of its phosphate revenue in trust funds to ease the transition away from mining, but bad investments led to a serious depletion of the fund in the 1990s. In an attempt to generate income, Nauru has become an unregulated offshore banking center, gaining notoriety for money laundering. Nauru was visited in 1798 by the British and annexed in 1888 by Germany. Occupied during World War I by Australian forces, it was placed (1920) under a League of Nations mandate to Australia. Throughout World War II the island was occupied by the Japanese. Nauru was administered by Australia, Britain, and New Zealand under a UN trusteeship until 1968, when it became one of the world's smallest independent states. In 1993, Australia agreed to pay Nauru about $75 million for environmental damage caused by mining before independence. Bernard Dowiyogo was elected president in Apr., 2000.
