No offense Naoero, but it sounds exactly the same as the old name I also never used.

They will be devastated that a rando on the internet went out of its way to disrespect an entire people. ****

I'm not. It's literally pronounced the same, so "say our name" is really weird, because everyone has BEEN saying that name.

Edit: nevermind. I've just always pronounced Nauru wrong, and thereby correctly...
