Extractions: Nauru When the Germans annexed the place in 1888, they had no time for the islanders' dancing and were quick to ban it. Many indigenous cultural practices have followed suit, and one form of culture is now beamed into homes from Television New Zealand through TV aerials or satellite dishes, of which there are plenty. Australian Rules football has almost the status of a religion, and some children are even named after the game's greats. Nauruan islanders are among the wealthiest in the world per head of population, and cars, refrigerators and other mod-cons are commonplace. English and Nauruan, a unique Pacific language with recognisable elements of Melanesian, Polynesian and Micronesian, are spoken. English is the official language used for government and commerce. The clan was the traditional building block of Nauruan life, and today's electoral boundaries roughly represent traditional clan areas. Junk food is widespread, and diseases of affluence - diabetes, obesity and heart disease - are common. Most of the country's food has to be imported, so don't go expecting traditional Pacific feasts. Some pigs and chickens are raised locally, and some tropical fruit and vegetables are grown, especially around Buada Lagoon, but the island is overwhelmingly dependent on imports for its food and water. : We've tried to make the information on this web site as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information.

The majority of the Nauru websites (and there are not many Nauru websites that I could find) I located discussed the heavily mined phosphate deposits the island once possessed, and the somewhat bleak future for the remaining islanders once this rich resource is fully depleted. There is some mention about offshore banking, which apparently is very common on the island, second in number only to the Cayman Islands. The general consensus among the travel websites I visited was that Nauru has not yet developed a tourism industry, and visiting the country is, sadly enough, not considered worthwhile. Several sites also mentioned that Nauru had been "stripped" of its traditional culture when occupied by various European countries and Japan. One site in particular noted that the Germans banned the natives from dancing. Thus, there is apparently not a lot of traditional cultural preservation.

Extractions: Nauru Nauru is the poor little rich kid of the Pacific. Seemingly limitless mining proceeds have made Nauruans the wealthiest people in the Pacific, but at various stages in their history people, culture, forest, soil and then subsoil have been stripped or shipped away at the whim of foreign powers. Exploitation has become an art form. The bird poop that was the island has been an economic boon to islanders, but Nauru's interior could now only be described as an 'ecological basket case'. Island culture has been assaulted by the weight of imported customs, junk food, fridges, televisions and electric cookers, but it does survive in a modified form. Nauru is not geared up for tourism, and the settlements offer little to the traveller, but that is likely to change once the phosphate bubble bursts in a few years. A colourful reef dotted with WWII sunken wrecks surrounds the island, the waters make great diving and the sport fishing is incomparable. Full country name: Republic of Nauru

Travel The Republic of Nauru, with a coastline of 30 kilometres, is an island situated north of the Solomon Islands and just south of the equator. The population is just 10,200 with the majority being Nauruan and the remainder being Asian and European. Nauruan is the main language, however English is widely spoken and understood. Nauru became an independent (and the world's smallest) Republic in 1968. The country's economy has traditionally been based on phosphate exports, although more recently tourism and the development of Nauru bas an offshore centre have become relatively more important. The Australian dollar is the currency of Nauru.

Pacific News Member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally. On our website you find more cultural info on Anglonesia at: Australian (Culture) Aboriginal Culture Aussie Slang (dictionary) Aussie Songbook ...

Extractions: History The British Phosphate Commission offered to resettle islanders, suggesting Curtis Island in the chilly Bass Strait of southern Australia. Needless to say the Nauruans turned down the kind offer. By 1951 the Local Government Council was established, granting a small measure of self determination to islanders. Nauru won full independence in 1968, when it was accorded special member status of the Commonwealth. In 1970, Australia, New Zealand and Britain handed over their joint control of the phosphate operations to the Nauru Phosphate Corporation. In the early days of mining the company paid half a penny to those Nauruans holding land in mined areas per ton of phosphate shipped, and the annual amount shipped was generally between one half and two million tons. While the royalty did increase, Nauru lodged a claim against Australia in 1989 for compensation for damage caused before independence. Australia and Nauru signed an out of court settlement in 1993 for US$66 million, and New Zealand and Britain each agreed to contribute nominal sums. The Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust invests money from the sale of phosphate and has extensive investments in Australia, Hawaii and other countries as insurance for the day when the phosphate mining grinds to a halt. Under Nauru's Constitution, the Trust must pay a percentage of phosphate royalties into a fund to finance rehabilitation of the trashed landscape. The current estimate is that that job will cost US$230 million over more than 20 years. Nauru will face enormous financial difficulties when the phosphate is mined out. The Government announced plans to rehabilitate the island during the 1994 Small Island States Conference on Sustainable Development, without settling on a preferred method. In recent years the government has been plagued with instability and accusations of poor financial management, and since November 1995 Nauru has had six rulers, with changes often brought about by votes of no confidence.
