Nauru

  • Nauru covers about 21 km² and has no official capital. Yaren is the de facto seat of government, with Parliament House.
  • Phosphate mining stripped about 80% of Nauru's land, and the island has no rivers.
  • Buada Lagoon is Nauru's largest natural lake, a shallow freshwater lagoon where milkfish were once traditionally raised.
