An island nation in the Micronesian South Pacific.
The Republic of Naoero is the world's smallest island nation, covering just 21 km².
The Republic of Naoero is a phosphate rock island, and its primary economic activity since 1907 has been the export of phosphate mined from the island.
Mining ceased in 2000 and re-commenced on a smaller scale in 2006.
80% of the island's surface has been strip-mined.
The name of the island was changed in May 2026 by passing a constitutional amendment to change the English name from Republic of Nauru to "Republic of Naoero".
