Nauru

An island republic of 12,000 people in the central Pacific, where Australia committed more than A$140 million over five years under a 2024 treaty and fewer than one in five have safely managed drinking water.

Perfect Nations values what Nauru owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Nauru. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.
