Nauru

Formerly known as the Pleasant Island, Nauru is the third smallest country in the world (behind the Vatican City and Monaco) at just 21 square km in size and has no neighboring countries; Banaba of Kiribati is the closest island to Nauru, and it is over 190 miles away to the East. Located in the Central Pacific Ocean, known specifically as Micronesia, Nauru is known for its year-round warm and humid climate and coastal beaches, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking a place to explore and relax.

Politically, Nauru is a democracy, with the President serving as both head of state and government; historically the political environment has been marked by stability and peace. For much of its history, Nauru’s main source of economic output came via phosphate mining. However, since the phosphate reserves exhausted in the late 1990’s, Nauru has shifted its focus to finding alternative sources of revenue.

With just 10,000 residents, Nauru has an incredibly close-knit culture with a strong emphasis on family and community, and the island’s population is mostly made up of indigenous Nauruans of Micronesian descent. With its year-round tropical climate, friendly population, and favorable tax system, Nauru is an island that has much to offer investors. Nauru is an ideal destination for those seeking a secondary passport in a small, beautiful nation; offering a quick and efficient Citizenship by Investment Programme.
