Nothing stopping them in that case from declaring war on Nauru and doing all the same.

It's broadened my horizons in a similar way to like someone moving from the island of Nauru in Oceania to Bay Area SF would experience.

The government would force them to Nauru or Cambodia where they would be locked up in basically a prison until the tried to commit suicide or were beaten/raped by staff.

I think there are only 5 countries with as little legally mandated leave as the US (aka 0): Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau.

Ah, y'see that's why we, in Australia, stick our asylum seekers in camps in different countries like Nauru and Papua New Guinea, where whatever problems they cause are safely out of sight.

Here in Europe, we have had the UK and Italy actively pursuing rounding up migrants and deporting them to Ruanda/Albania until their claims are processed, and Australia has been doing this for decades now on Nauru and other places.

Kitts and Nevis and Antigua and Barbuda in 2022; Trinidad in 2018; Belize in 2016) and through legislative action (Cook Islands in 2023, Singapore in 2022, Angola and Botswana in 2019, Seychelles and Nauru in 2016, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Palau in 2014).

China, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Myanmar, New Guinea, Guam, East Timor, and Nauru all stopped existing.

Resource curse isn't oil specific, and you might include some remote outliers into that group as well: Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil, and Nigeria, for example, all oil producers, and numerous others throughout the world based on other natural resources, with Nauru being perhaps the most spectacular boom-bust case.

> Australia under Tony Abbot runs concentration camps for victims of famine, civil war on Nauru They are called "refugee camps".

"Support our warfighters and maintain strategic advantage over our adversaries" is not blunt, it is the minimum baseline for any nation with assets anyone else might want to annex, which is basically anywhere except Nauru, North Sentinel Island, and Bir Tawil.

To take two examples - suppose Australia decides to attack Nauru, a small island nation of about 1,100 people.

The only exceptions were little Liechtenstein, with a ratio of exactly 1, and negligible Nauru, a genuine outlier at 0.837.

But suppose on the way, Australia acquires a nuclear bomb and plans to detonate it over Nauru, ensuring no survivors.
