The Story of Nauru - How Once the Richest Country Lost Everything?!

Nauru...The world's smallest island and once the richest country in the world lost everything. This is the story of the rise and fall of Nauru Island! 🏝️

The history of Nauru is rich bad sad. Nauru is one of the least visited with about only 200 tourists a year now. ⚠️

"The richest island in the world," a New York Times article title on March 7, 1982. Nauru? What is that? I believe most readers at that time had never even heard of Nauru, or even those better acquainted with geography because it is a small island in the Pacific. One of the smallest countries in the world, and the second smallest island country in Oceania, only Tuvalu is smaller. 🏖️

Nauru, an island of only 21 km2 and 13,600 inhabitants (2017), was the richest country in the world per capita for about 40 years, richer even than the Gulf countries. Wondering how? The answer will sound amazing ― thanks to bird droppings.
