Last year, the Republic of Nauru uploaded its flag on SNS in honor of the 「one millimeter of Mitoma」 shown by Kaoru Mitoma of the Japanese national team at the 「2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar」. This time, for some reason, they seemed to feel an affinity with the city of Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture.
Today’s figure: 「458,217」
The 『Tourism Bureau of the Republic of Nauru (Official)』 account had the same number of followers as the population of Kanazawa City on August 29, 2023. That is 「458,217」.
To commemorate the event, we posted an image that easily compares the area of the Republic of Nauru and Kanazawa City, which provoked an outcry.
Where is the Republic of Nauru?
When Kaoru Misumi turned the ball back just short of the goal line during the World Cup Soccer match against Spain in Qatar, he posted, 「For some reason, I thought today would be a good time to introduce the Nauru flag」.
This was a big hit, as the flag may have looked like 「a millimeter of Mitoma」.
Furthermore, when the 300,000 followers commemorative gold friendship badge was released as 「official merchandise」, the design of the flags of the Republic of Nauru and Japan lined up in a row became the talk of the town.
Do you know where on earth the Republic of Nauru is located?
The officials have posted a very clear map of this as well. (Actually, it seems the image was created by ABEMA Hills.)
I look forward to seeing what kind of material you will come up with next.
