Nauru does not have an official capital city, which makes it unique among nations. Instead, the government offices and administrative functions are concentrated in the Yaren District. Yaren serves as the de facto capital and is home to Parliament House and other key institutions. The island is divided into 14 districts, each with its own local character. This unusual arrangement reflects Nauru’s small size and centralized governance. Visitors often refer to Yaren when speaking about the nation’s center of activity.
