Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Nauru. Nauru officially adopted the name Republic of Naoero in 2026, restoring the indigenous name of the island through a constitutional amendment. The name change was confirmed by President David Adeang on 31 July 2026 after approval by the Nauruan parliament in May 2026. The official abbreviated name of the country is now Naoero, with the country code NRO, and citizens are known as dei-Naoero. The renaming is linked to the preservation of the Nauruan language (dorerin Naoero), which UNESCO classifies as a severely endangered language. Nauru is a sovereign island republic located in Micronesia in the central Pacific Ocean and has a land area of about 21 square kilometres. Nauru is the third-smallest sovereign state in the world by area after Vatican City and Monaco and has no official capital city, with Yaren District serving as the administrative centre. Nauru uses the Australian dollar as its currency and follows a parliamentary republic system with a president as head of state and government. The United Nations received formal notification of the name change on 26 June 2026 and started updating its official records.
