It was formerly called Pleasant Island. Yaren is the capital. There is a narrow band of habitable land along the coast; the island's interior is environmentally devastated as a result of phosphate mining. The country is a parliamentary republic with a president (administrator), elected by the legislative council, and a small cabinet. Nauruans are predominantly Polynesian, with heavy intermixtures of Micronesian and Melanesian strains. Nauru is important for its high-grade phosphate deposits, now nearly exhausted. Nauru has few other resources and must import virtually all necessities. The country has placed much of its phosphate revenue in trust funds to ease the transition away from mining, but bad investments led to a serious depletion of the fund in the 1990s. In an attempt to generate income, Nauru became an unregulated offshore banking center, gaining notoriety for money laundering. It abandoned offshore shore banking in Mar., 2003, under the threat of crippling economic sanctions by the United States, which regarded Nauru banks as potential havens for terrorist financing.
