I tried to create one. It was funny to do. Maybe I'll do more in a near future, but I'm not sure.

All kinds of returns are welcome!

It's good but I would like to see more fun facts. It's a bit too geography centered, but that's just my thoughts! Good effort.

ClutchNferno, Geography in itself is fun. That's the whole point of doing jetpunk quizzes. If you seek "trivia", I think that you are missing the point. (Could this be the start of a philosophical debate?)

I understand both ideas.

@ClutchNferno Sorry, but, as you probably know, Nauru is a very small country, so there are not many "fun facts" to say about it. I have one or two ideas about the wayss of the government to earn money. Maybe I could add a question about it (it can be considered as "funny").

I think the quiz is great, but I have some possibilities which you might think are fun facts. (I had started working on a Nauru quiz too, of all places! I'm quite fascinated by its story, it's crazy and sad.) Anyway, here's what I got, feel free to use any of it or not :) ...

Nauru's government invested millions into a flop musical about Leonardo da Vinci

Queen Elizabeth II has been to Nauru

Nauru has the most Commonwealth Games medals per capita of any country (about 1 medal for every 420 citizens by my calculation)

Nauru was formerly known as Pleasant Island

Thank a lot for all you write!

I also really like the Nauru History, and I can find better adjective to describe it than the words you used. I totally agree.

For Pleasant Island, I wa not sure creating the quiz, and I decided to not talk about it because it would be too much informations present in the Nauru Quiz.

The three other are interesting. Maybe I'll incorporate some of them. Thanks!

Vive Nauru!
