		The phosphates are mined by just one organisation: the government owned Nauru Phosphate Corporation (or NPC for short).
		The phosphate is then crushed to less than 50mm, transported by rail to the main phosphate works, dried, crushed again to less than 12mm, and stored in bins for transportation onto boats.
		Deep-sea moorings, built in 1930, provide an area for the ships while waiting for phosphate to be transported, although these have to be evacuated during strong winds, to avoid the ships being blown onto the rocky shore.

		Nauru’s Human Development Index ranking has slipped to a medium level in recent years as GDP per capita has fallen.
		The natural vegetation and topsoil have been removed from over 70 percent of the land area, primarily at the center of the island, thus preventing the dispersal of a rapidly-increasing population from the coastal fringe, heightening land pressures and disputes around that fringe, and possibly causing microclimate deterioration.
		Phosphate dust may have health implications, as it aggravates the corrosive qualities of salt-laden air.

		Nauru's terrain consists of a sandy beach rising to a fertile ring around raised coral reefs with a phosphate plateau in the centre.
		Phosphate revenues have given the island one of the world's highest per capita income (eg about US$33,500 in 1995), but the phosphate is expected to be exhausted within the next few years, and in the early1990s Australia withdrew as the island's principal phosphate purchaser.
		Nauru was granted full membership of the Commonwealth in May 1999 (it was previously a Special Member) and was admitted as the 187th member of the United Nations on 14 September 1999.
