Eo Detenga Eo Eibwia

On May 17, 1968, Nauru became an independent republic : the smallest in the world. The constitution was signed in a ceremony that lasted less time than a cricket match. The new nation had no army, no navy, no air force, and no university. It had something better: the highest per-capita GDP on Earth, thanks to phosphate. That wealth would not last, but for one bright moment, the smallest republic was the richest.
