Politics of Nauru The constitution of the Republic of Nauru was adopted following national independence on 31 January 1968. In 2007 there were political debates in progress with a view to amend aspects of the Constitution, owing to the challenge of widely acknowledged political instability. One notable issue being discussed was the possibility of making the office of President of Nauru directly elected by the population, instead of the office being indirectly elected by the Parliament of Nauru . Owing to frequent recourse to the vote of no confidence s, changes of President have been frequent i.e. Bernard Dowiyogo was appointed President of Nauru a total of seven times, prior to his death in 2003 . Supporters of making the office of President independent of a Parliamentary vote hope that increased stability will ensure from the adoption of such a measure. Sceptics are concerned that attempts may arise to set aside the elected President through the courts bearing in mind also that under the Nauruan court system some appeals are actually heard in Australia .

The Republic of Nauru is a small, isolated Western Pacific island nation, lacking many of the tourist facilities of some of its larger neighbors, such as Fiji, the Cook Islands, or even New Caledonia. Access to the island comes through once a week, with flights from Brisbane , Australia , on the national airline provider of Nauru, Our Airline . Accommodations Hotels within the Republic of Nauru consist of The Menen Hotel 119 rooms, recently updated The OD N Aiwo Hotel Food & Beverage The Menen Hotel hosts two restaurants, the Anibare and the Oriental, and one bar. These food and beverage facilities offer views of Anibare bay, off the east coast of the island. The Anibare offers international cuisine and local seafood. The Oriental serves Thai, Chinese, and Indian food. The restaurants are frequented by islanders. Leisure activities Deep Sea Game Fishing is offered by several locals with privately owned boats who hire their services for chartered amounts of time. Fish that have been caught include marlin, yellowfin tuna, skipjack, and barracuda. Swimming at the beach just outside the Menen Hotel is considered by locals and visitors alike to be the best on the island. White sand and bright blue water rival any other beach in the Pacific. Scuba Diving is a treat in Nauru thanks to the clear water and an intact reef. A plethora of marine life can be seen and wreck diving is even available. Equipment needed to scuba dive can be rented on the island. Getting to Nauru Our Airline, formerly known as Air Nauru , operates two Boeing 737 300 aircraft out of Brisbane, Australia.
