Background Information

Weekend Public Holidays: Based on historical reports, it seems that public holidays that fall on a weekend are moved to the following Monday, however this is regulated by practice, not law.  Death of Leading Politicians: The death of leading politicians, active or retired, often results in the last-minute declaration of a national public holiday of mourning .  Angam Day (26 October): the word Angam means homecoming and this day commemorates the various times in history when the size of the Nauruan population has returned to 1,500, which is thought to be the minimum number necessary for survival. The people of Nauru celebrates "Angam Day" - the Day of Fulfillment" - on October 26 to commemorate the birth of the 1500th Nauruan at the end of the epidemic in 1920s. Source: Nauru Mission to the UN.  Nauru International Codes NR and NRU (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .nr (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Nauru information and news: ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Nauru maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Nauru), and Wikipedia (includes Nauru commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).
