The parliament of Nauru has agreed to change the South Pacific microstate's name to "Naoero". A referendum will now take place on the constitutional change.
I think I have mixed attitudes towards microstates, since it’s a pretty ill-defined category that encompasses a pretty broad mix of different societies: money laundering tax havens Monaco and Liechtenstein are microstates, but so are the historical AES states of Grenada and Seychelles. I have infinitely more support for the latter than the former.
