By the time the reserves ran out in the late [=1980s=], though, Nauru's environment had become a wreck and its economy collapsed. The country rapidly burned through its $1 billion cash and investment reserves and [[RichesToRags became one of the poorest on Earth]]. The fall was exacerbated by endemic political corruption and mismanagement (this included a hare-brained scheme to invest millions of public dollars into what would become the worst stage show in West End history: ''Leonardo the Musical''). The country flirted briefly with becoming a foreign tax shelter and selling citizenship to gangsters wanting to avoid extradition, but that just made things worse as the international community imposed harsh sanctions for money laundering. The country is currently trying to pull its way out from financial ruin by modernizing its infrastructure and other methods (including hosting detained migrants Australia had caught trying to cross the sea). The attempt to do this however, has resulted in the country becoming a dumping ground for refugees trying to get into Australia, which is because the government of Nauru signed a deal with the Australian government to take in refugees to help modernise the country; which has resulted in the refugees being held in a detention camp riddled with alleged human rights violations.

Nauru is many things, most of which are related to its small size and population. Currently the smallest republic, the smallest island country, and with just over 9,300 residents, it is the second least-populated country in the world.
The island was originally populated by twelve Polynesian and Micronesian clans, who arrived on the island at around 1000 BCE. Contact with Europeans and the importation of firearms and distilled liquor wreaked havoc on the island, culminating in the island-wide Nauruan Civil War of 1878. The war lasted (on and off) for ten years and killed one-third of the island population. Exhausted by the fighting, Nauru quasi-"voluntarily" became a colony of the German Empire in 1887. After WWI, ownership of the was then transferred to Australia, New Zealand, and the UK; it was then briefly occupied by the Japanese in WWII. It declared independence in 1968.
Due to its vast abundance of phosphate reserves (basically, millions of years' worth of migratory seabirds guano), which originally covered 90% of the surface of the island, Nauru at one point boasted the highest per-capita income of any independent nation after Saudi Arabia. The wealth allowed Nauru to become one of the most comprehensive welfare states on Earth, with the government providing free (or practically free) everything, including medicare, education to the graduate level, housing, utilities, public transport, and telephone; even the national newspaper is free.
