A country that is 8 square miles in area?

What? This is crazy! I was about to research something for school when Google showed me this in the search bar. I cannot believe this!

This country is called Nauru and is right smack dab in the southern parts of the Pacific Ocean. It was formerly known as Pleasant Island, and is more than 3000 years old. It even has it's own language, Nauruan!

This is just a brief history of it all, but if you want to know more, here is a link to the Wikipedia page:

Still...8 square miles!
