🌏 What is Meliora? A New Proposal Involving Nauru🌺

Ekamawir Omo! There’s a new proposal being discussed that could affect Nauru’s future — it’s called Meliora, and it’s important for Nauruans to understand what it’s all about.

What is Meliora?

Meliora is a proposal for a separate city-state, built on reclaimed land that would be leased from Nauru. The idea is to create a brand new, self-governing city mainly for people from Australia, the Philippines, and other parts of Asia.

What’s being proposed:

  • 📜 Nauru leases part of its land — likely the interior former mining sites.  This area would be built up with land reclamation and leased to an independent Meliora government for a limited period.

  • 🏙️ A new city is built — modern, climate-resilient, and focused on trade, tech, and international residents.

  • 👩‍💼 Populated mainly by migrants — Meliora would welcome workers, families, and businesses from across Asia and the Pacific Rim.

  • 💰 In return, Nauru receives lease payments — providing a new source of income for the country and her Sovereign wealth fund. .

Why this matters for Nauru:

  • Could provide revenue — money from the lease could support health, education, and climate efforts in Nauru. Our proposal is geared to provide up to AUD$1 Billion in revenue for Nauru.

  • Increased job opportunities — Nauruans would be able to gain access to work in Meliora, earning higher salaries, whilst remaining a resident of Nauru.

  • Increased Healthcare — More medical facilities in Meliora would be available for the benefit of all Nauruans without having to leave Nauru. 

  • Nauru keep sovereignty — Nauru would still own the territory, and could end the lease in the future if needed.

  • Raises questions — about culture, environment, and who benefits. It's important that any deal is transparent and fair.

Things to consider:

  • Will Nauruan voices be heard in the process?

  • How will the environment be protected?

  • Can this help Nauru face climate change — or create new risks?

This is still a proposal — but it’s something worth talking about.  Meloria could be a bold new idea… or it could carry risks. 

Let’s keep the conversation going. 🌺
