In Nauru, an island country in Micronesia, Nauru Congregational Church is the largest religion, encompassing 35.71% of the population, as of the 2011 census.
Nauru's climate is hot and very humid year-round – because of the proximity of the island to the Equator and the ocean.
The displacement of the traditional culture of Nauru by contemporary western influences is very clearly visible on the island. Only little remains preserved from the old customs. The traditions of arts and crafts are lost nearly completely.
