Nauru's phosphate deposits made it, per capita, one of the richest countries in the world in the 1970s. Mining stripped roughly 80% of the island's surface, and when the phosphate ran out the money went with it.
The clock: Yaren keeps UTC+12. Nauru has no official capital; Yaren is where the government offices happen to be, on an island of 21 square kilometres.
Yaren lies at 193.1°W. Its time zone, UTC+12, is built around the 180°W meridian. The 13.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 52 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:52 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+12 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 9m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 12h 5m. The swing between them is 4 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Yaren the sun comes up earliest on 3 November at 06:32, while the latest sunset waits until 13 February at 19:11. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Yaren that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
