Pleasant Island

What is the world's smallest independant republic?

Apparently it is the Republic of Nauru in the South Pacific.

Now, I am not the walking, breathing geography savant that my husband is frequently accused of being (mostly by me), but I don't think I'm a total idiot either. But I had never heard of this place until yesterday. I am now working with the Ambassador to the Republic of Nauru on a thing at work. Once I got off the phone with her and was dealing with her assistant I had to wear my ignorance for the world to see because I didn't even know how to spell it, let alone find it.

So now I know.
