The yellow bar symbolizes the equator, the blue in the upper half symbolizes the blue sky, the blue in the lower half symbolizes the ocean, and the 12-pointed star symbolizes the original 12 tribes of Nauru. Nauru people have lived on the island for generations. The British ship first arrived on the island in 1798. Nauru was incorporated into the Marshall Islands Protected Area in Germany in 1888; the British were allowed to mine phosphates here in the early 20th century. In 1919, the League of Nations placed Nauru under the co-management of the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, and Australia represented the three countries. Occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. It became a UN trusteeship in 1947 and is still under the co-management of Australia, Britain and New Zealand. Nauru became independent on January 31, 1968. Nauru has no official capital, and its government offices are located in Aaron District. Population of 12,000 (2000). Among them, Nauru people accounted for 58%, South Pacific islanders accounted for 26%, and the immigrants were mainly Europeans and Chinese. Nauru is the national language, general English. Most of the residents believe in Protestant Christianity, and a few believe in Catholicism. In terms of land area, Nauru is the smallest of all independent republics, but its per capita national income is very high, and the welfare benefits of its citizens are not inferior to Western countries. Free services such as housing, lights, telephone, and medical services are implemented nationwide. For thousands of years, countless seabirds have come to live on this small island, leaving a large amount of bird droppings on the island. Over the years, the bird droppings have undergone chemical changes and become a layer of high-quality fertilizer up to 10 meters thick. Call it "phosphate mine". 80% of the country's land is rich in such minerals. Nauru people rely on phosphate mines to become "rich" with an average annual income of US$8,500. |
