Why it sticks

  1. 1

    Nauru is the third-smallest country in the world and the smallest republic. It has no official capital, and Yaren is the de facto seat of government.

  2. 2

    Phosphate mining briefly made it one of the richest countries per person but left about 80% of the island a barren moonscape of coral pinnacles.

  3. 3

    The flag's yellow line is the equator, and the 12-pointed star just below it marks the island's position and its 12 original tribes.
