註釋Nauru is a small island country located in the Pacific Ocean, northeast of Australia. The country has a total land area of just 21 square kilometers and a population of approximately 12,000 people. Nauru was once one of the wealthiest countries in the region, due to its vast deposits of phosphate, a key ingredient in fertilizer. However, unsustainable mining practices and mismanagement of funds led to the depletion of the country's resources and a severe economic decline. Today, Nauru is heavily dependent on foreign aid and has struggled with issues such as high rates of obesity, diabetes, and mental health issues. The country has also faced criticism for its treatment of asylum seekers, who are detained on the island under Australia's controversial offshore processing policy. Despite these challenges, Nauru has made efforts to diversify its economy and improve living conditions for its citizens, including investing in renewable energy and expanding access to healthcare and education.
