Hearing the name of Nauru State may still be strange to our ears. Nauru is a small country in the South Pacific that is ± 500 km from Papua.
.
Once Nauru is a very large producer of Phosphate stone. The amount of phosphate in the country reaches 41 million tons. this is a huge amount compared to Indonesia consisting of thousands of islands, its phosphate number is only about 2.5 million tons.
.
This natural wealth makes Nauru a small, very rich country.
.
residents in Nauru are exempt from tax and get free health care. Even if there are residents who need medical care abroad, the Government will fly it.
.
But in just 3 decades, all that changed when the inventory of Phosphate is running out.
.
yes, they are too exploring phosphate out of it without thinking of the future. 2006 was a very tough year for Nauru as large mines closed in the absence of Phosphates.
.
Not until there, phosphate exploitation also makes the environment becomes damaged. now in Nauru will be very hard to find forest area, all destroyed.
.
In 2017, Nauru entered into the five poorest countries in the world.
.
Now Nauru's only survival is to "beg" to Australia.
.
they offered their country to Australia to be a refuge for boatmen in return for 20 million dollars.
