Nauru Changes Its Name To 'Republic of Naoero'

The Pacific island nation of Nauru, the world's 3rd-smallest country by population, has changed its name to 'Republic of Naoero', reflecting its traditional identity. The country will adopt the international code NRO, while its citizens will be called dei-Naoero. The move honours the nation's language, and roots after decades of global recognition as Nauru.
