The correct answer is option 1, Nauru. Nauru is the world`s smallest republic, with an area of only 21 square kilometers. A republic is a form of government where the country is considered a "public matter," and power is held by the people or their elected representatives. It became a republic in 1968 after gaining independence from Australia. Nauru is located in the central Pacific Ocean and is also the third smallest country in the world by land area. It has a population of approximately 10,000 people. Please note that option 2, Palermo, is incorrect as it is a city in Italy. Option 3, Vatican City, is also incorrect as it is an independent city-state, not a republic. Option 4, Namur, is incorrect as it is a city in Belgium.
