Naoero: World’s 3rd-smallest country changes name

Nauru, a small Pacific Island nation, has officially changed its name to the Republic of Naoero, aligning with the spelling and pronunciation used in its national language. The decision, announced by President David Adeang, aims to restore the country's traditional name, which was previously altered for ease of international recognition. The new name replaces 'Nauru' with 'Naoero,' and the country's international code will change from NRU to NRO. The move reflects efforts to honor cultural heritage and linguistic identity, as noted in a government statement. While the constitutional amendment was approved by parliament, it remains unclear whether the formal legal process has been completed. With a population of just 12,000, Nauru is the world's third-smallest country by population, following Tuvalu and Vatican City.
