    Such a shame. Used to be such a beautiful looking country.

    Mining has rendered the inner 80 percent of Nauru uninhabitable, with the island's roughly 11,000-strong population almost entirely restricted to the coast. Now, the interior is dotted with jagged limestone pinnacles -- geological "leftovers" after the phosphate-rich soil was scooped out from the hard stone.

    Such a shame. Used to be such a beautiful looking country.
