Talk:Nauru (1983: Doomsday)

ANZ base
I'm not sure ANZ would build a base here. For one thing, where would they put it? (There's really not a lot of space on the island.) The only place available would seem to be the micro-harbors run by the nationalized phosphate company, something that I'm sure the ANZers had to promise not to touch in order to win voter approval for free association. I'd guess that ANZ offered to defend Nauru in case of attack, which it could do from relatively close positions in Tuvalu, Vanuatu, or Kiribati. Benkarnell 14:41, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
