It is the only democratic country in the world without a capital

New cities and capitals were regularly built during the reign of emperors. They will change the capital as per their convenience. Take the case of our capital Dhaka. 15 years after Raja Mansingh Rajmahal was established as the capital of Subah Bengal in 1595 AD, Islam Khan Chishti shifted the capital from there to Dhaka. Even in modern times, changes in capital rarely occur. For example, Indonesia decided to move the capital to free up the residents of the capital city stuck in traffic jams. The country's government has announced that the new capital they are going to build to replace Jakarta will be called 'Nusantara'. Neighboring Myanmar also moved its capital from Yangon (formerly Rangoon) to Naypyidaw in 2005. There are many countries that have not one but two capitals. Sri Lanka is a country with multiple capitals—Colombo is the country's commercial capital, and Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is the administrative capital.

In most cases the most important city of a country is the capital of that country. But there are countries in the world that have no capital! such as Nauru. It is the only democratic country in the world without a capital. Not only that, it has no army of its own. Nauru is the third smallest country in the world. The country was once called 'Pleasant Island'.

Nauru is an island nation in the southwest Pacific Ocean located in Oceania. It takes five hours to travel from Australia to Nauru. The total area of the country is only 21 square kilometers. As of 2023, its total population is about 14,400. About 96 percent people of this country are educated.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the country had a phosphate mining business. Today the main sources of Nauru's economy are phosphate mining, offshore banking, fishing and foreign aid. Currently, the per capita income in the country is 17 thousand 870 dollars. The official currency of Nauru is the Australian dollar. The national language of the country is Nauruan. Although English is still used in business and government official work. Although there is no recognized capital, Nauru's government offices are located in Yaren District.
