I've heard a couple of recent NPR bits on Nauru, but happened to run across it earlier when trying to find out which country was the smallest on earth. It's, like, literally, a pit of bird shit leachate. Let's go!

Just because Burning Man is " no commerce" there is no reason it couldn’t have an off shore Bank of Burning Man as well as it's own currency. Or credit cards for that matter.
