Why doesn't Nauru have land? For thousands of years, countless seabirds have inhabited the island, leaving a thick layer of guano on the island, completely obscuring the land. Guano has undergone long-term chemical changes to form a layer of high-quality phosphate up to 10 meters thick, leaving not an inch of soil for crops to grow.

The country's economy is based on the extraction and export of large quantities of phosphate, and it relies on imports of food, fruits and vegetables, and various daily necessities.
