My Dad was born in Australia but when he was about 6 him and his family moved to Nauru. (It had something to do with my grandfather's work but I'm not sure as to what he did. I'm fairly sure he worked with boats.) My Dad lived in Nauru from 1976 to about 1981 or 82 when they moved back to Brisbane. He likes to tell us about how large items of machinery were moved with cranes that had a weight capacity much larger than the weight of the object on the crane (about 5 metric tonnes) whilst someone was standing underneath the object. He also tells us about how you were able to see unexploded bombs from WWII when scuba diving. He says that my grandfather actually was hitting the side of one of the bombs because my Dad and uncle weren't able to see it.

(Sorry for replying so late) I don't know too much but my Father was working in Nauru through the Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust (During the 90's) which was a sovereign fund in which they invested in multiple countries such as Australia, USA and of course the Philippines. My Mother was there as she was studying nursing! They crossed paths somehow and my Father courted her. She eventually graduated and fell pregnant then they decided they would migrate to New Zealand to start a new life as Mum had loads of relatives that were already residing there! (Quick anecdote: Mum had to lie about how many weeks pregnant she was to actually board the flight because there was a limit of some sort) Mum flew here first as Dad forgot to pay for his ticket so he flew over a week or so later.

I was in Nauru in 2006 on an exploration of Pacific Island nations. We were documenting birds and birdsong from Fiji to Faichuuk and Kwajalein to Palau and Titian in the Marianas. There is one endemic bird on Nauru--then Nauru Reed Warbler. Great little bird--loud and cheerful.

Same as Bern is the de facto capital of Switzerland.

Hey Barbs, if Yaren is the unofficial capitol because that's where the parliament building is, then I think the proper term is "de facto." "De jure" means by right or by law, officially. Here's the Wikipedia entry, in part: "In law and government, de jure describes practices that are legally recognised, regardless of whether the practice exists in reality. In contrast, de facto describes situations that exist in reality, even if not legally recognised."

Nepal was technically ruled by a guy in a coma for less than 24 hours. He showed up at his parents party in full camo armed with an assault rifle, took out every member of his family, and then shot himself. Since he was the crown prince, and since he didn't do a very good job at offing himself, he was technically king for the few hours he had until he died. The state media tried to claim it was an accident.

There was a time, i think in costa rica, when some egghead had an idea to recover ravaged land by asking its stewardship to let one of those big fruit companies(probably one that had some hand in the damage to begin with) dump all their organic waste/peels etc. It was controversial, and wound up getting stopped, but not until after tonnes upon tonnes of fruit waste was dumped on the land, saving the company money, a good incentive to get them to do useful things. The project was forgotten, but, eventually, some students from some college went to check it out. They became confused, thinking they were some how getting lost in the tiny region, untill they found the marker sign, in a lush, overgrown, section of jungle. The land, which had been overcome by invasives, and scrub grass, which had died under the organic mulch, and it had become rich soil, allowing the surrounding jungle to retake the ground, far more rapidly than the most accepted projections. If somewhere, a group would assist a similar approach, maybe that bombed out southern most Japanese islet, and let organic waste be gathered there, from wherever it's cheaper for a fruit company, and maybe Japanese sugarcane leftover pulps, along with helpful microbes, and fungi, like an attenuated oyster mushroom, it could be transported to the mine pocked ground, and used to fill it in, breaking down into arable soil, while leveling the ground. I bet, within two wet seasons, their would be a shocking amount of activity, from birds, bugs, and crabs, all contributing to the buildup of good earth. Sections by the ground water could be used, once a layer of soil is established, to grow bio remediators, effective at the uptake, and sequestering, of pollutants which make the water lack potablity. Once the toxic crop is harvested, it can be stored safely, or shipped away on one of the ships bringing in fruit. The old booms could be renovated to allow this kind of large on/off load. It's heartbreaking to see what was done to such beautiful land, but I believe these kinds of mistakes can be corrected, it wouldn't bring big money, but it could be arranged to bring some, and the land could be made healthy again. Trying to get this idea, especially just the use of fruit waste as a simple tactic to bring back living ground, to someone with ties to the island.

Covid is gone come to nauru now haha ]

I really liked this episode. I know this might be a controversial opinion but I like it more when it's only you narrating the whole episode. It's ok when maybe one part is narrated by someone else but when there are like 3 or even 4 people it starts to get a bit hectic and I tend to loose focus a bit. Anyways keep up the great work guys. It's always interesting to learn something new.

5:25 ‒ Hey, look, the lagoon has a smaller lagoon inside of it in its southeast.

Hey, I just discovered your youtube channel and it's FANTASTIC. Great work.

0:22 like, LITERALLY, this is the least-laughed at pun in the world.

i am so lucky that i have a lot of friends from Nauru (we studied together in college) and they are very friendly and party all the time people. I love them and they make really good music as well.

Thanks for the videos! The countries in Oceania fascinate me so I'd love to see more on places like Tuvalu (4th smallest country), Vanuatu (and their land diving) :D

1:56 "it is only the de jure capital..." If something is 'de jure' (in law) then it is official. Since Yaren isn't the official capital, then the words you're looking for is 'de facto' (in practice).

Can't wait for the Nepal episode!!!!!

0:26 CNN: *BREAKING NEWS* A Massive Tourist surge has overwhelmed the country of Nauru

Nauru is one of those small nations that I’m fascinated with. I have their flag in my flag collection, and I like to call it my favorite “ Eight mile isle”. I think that you guys are doing a great job. I do geography for a hobby, and I think more of the younger generations should watch you guys. Love from the United States!🇺🇸

At 13.16 there is a mistake. That is not a minister of the government of Nauru. That is Winston Peters who is the current Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand. He has never been part of Nauru's government. That photo was taken during a meeting concerning Nauru's detention camp but Winston does not represent the Nauru government.

Omg I had a layover in this country in 2003 - it was an experience! I rarely see the name Nauru mentioned these days...

It would be really amazing if you could do a Geography now for all 50 us states. Maybe just in between videos or something.

Actually Nauru has just as strong ties with New Zealand, and it is viewed as a far more friendly and reasonable country, especially in view of the asylum seeker programme. Given that China is trying to spread/buy influence in the Pacific, it won't be long before it reestablishes ties with China.

@frednerk3477

Good points, gsf67. The main reason there is no problem with New Zealand on the asylum seekers, is that basically Australia "protects" New Zealand from them ever getting there.

Fun fact for Pinoy Geograpeeps: The Pacific Star Building at the corner of Makati and Buendia Avenues in Makati was one of Nauru's investments from phosphate revenue.

1:47 Switzerland neither does have a official capital. De facto it's Bern, but de jure there is none.

Thank you for mentioning the diplomatic relationship of Nauru and Taiwan.

hahaha I didn't expect to see a Gauchito Gil shrine reference (the ones in Patagonia in my country) on this episode but I love it!

This was a good one, Ken!

The Nauru have not forgotten us.
