位於太平洋密克羅尼西亞群島，是全世界最小的島國。二戰期間遭日本佔領，戰後由澳洲、英國和紐西蘭共同託管。1963年，因三國曾在諾魯島上採礦，對環境造成破壞，澳洲政府提議收購柯蒂斯島，讓諾魯人去島上永居並且成為澳洲公民，但被諾魯公民拒絕了。不過現在兩國仍保有非常密切的外交關係，諾魯的國防甚至是由澳洲負責。諾魯過去曾以磷酸鹽致富，但現在挖光了，而且挖礦導致諾魯80%的土地面積遭到破壞。當局正想辦法用各種方式增加收入，目前收入中很大一塊來自跟澳洲的難民協議。但該協議也引發人權和社會安全等爭議。

As part of the Micronesian archipelago, Nauru is the world's smallest island nation, both the population and land area rank in the bottom three in the world, with only 11,000 people.
The people made a fortune in the 1900s with phosphate mining, but no one prepared themselves for the depletion of the phosphate. And by 1999, the GDP per capita was already less than 10% of its peak. Now they earn income by hosting "refugees Australia refuses to take in," and receive 700 to 2,000 USD per person. The average GDP per capita in 2021 was estimated to surpass 10,000 USD, the highest ever. But this new income has also led to many problems, including riots and contagious diseases in the nation.
Nauru is a diplomatic ally of Taiwan, and its current president is friendly towards Taiwan.
