More information about the video content bellow: 1. Formerly known as Pleasant Island, Nauru is a small, oval-shaped island. Unlike the other Pacific countries, Nauru doesn’t have hundreds of islands, it’s just the one. And it takes about half an hour to cross the entire country! 2. Due to non resemblance of the language of Nauruans, their exact origin is not confirmed. 3. The district of Yaren is Nauru’s largest community and the closest thing the island has to an official capital. The island’s police and earth stations, administration offices, parliament house, and only international airport are all situated here. In 2011, Yaren’s entire population was no more than 750 people. 4. Moqua Well and Moqua Caves-Many locals still refer to this underground lake as a well because it was Nauru’s main drinking source during WWII. Although the lake and its namesake caves stand next to Nauru International Airport, they remain difficult to find without assistance because a fence has blocked access ever since a drunk man accidentally drowned there in 2001. The ancient limestone caves and cliffs stand mere steps from Nauru’s national parliament buildings in Yaren and were both named after the town’s original name. 5. Nauru was first inhabited by Micronesian and Polynesian people at least 3,000 years ago. There were traditionally 12 clans or tribes on Nauru, which are represented in the 12-pointed star on the country’s flag. 6. Before Christian beliefs arrived and mining destroyed Topside, Nauruans believed in the primordial establishment of the island by two spirits that came from Kiribati and were manifested in two rocks, one on either side of Topside. Those rocks have disappeared, along with many of the other useful aspects of Topside. Buada lagoon is another site of spiritual strength for some Nauruans. 7. The popular and favourite sport of Nauru is Australian rules football. A 12-team senior league operates in the country, see Australian rules football in Nauru and it is a popular spectator sport.
