Formerly known as Pleasant Island, Nauru supplied to Australia a lot of fertilizer. This meant that its economy is so amazing shoot. These businesses made possible by the discovery in 1900 of some large deposits of phosphates.
But in 2005, there was a radical change in the economy, Nauru is today, a near-failed state with an uncertain future, which depends on the cash injections that give other countries to stay afloat. Life there is not too easy as just entering commercial and employment is very low. A far cry from the heady joy in fortunes of the 70 and 80, people have come to be people reluctant to visitors.

With the closure of the phosphate mines, hotel services such as hotels, restaurants and car rental (if any) are minimal. Despite the current economic gloom, the island still offers glimpses of his old liking.
Beautiful cliffs, wilderness areas very broad, and so on. enchant all those who want to spend a few days in the area. For lovers of World War II is ideal, as they will find vestiges of the Japanese occupation scattered around the island.
