Nauru operates on Nauru Time (NRT), which is 12 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+12). Nauru does not observe daylight saving time, so the time remains consistent throughout the year.
The entire island nation of Nauru follows the same timezone. The capital district Yaren and all other districts on this single island observe Nauru Time. Nauru shares the same UTC offset as New Zealand, Fiji, and the Marshall Islands.
Nauru is the world's smallest island nation and the third-smallest country by area, covering just 21 square kilometers. The country has no official capital city; government offices are located in the Yaren district. Nauru was once one of the wealthiest nations per capita due to phosphate mining, which has since been exhausted.
