In a post below, I challenged my reader(s) to guess the last country to be assigned a blog in the Blogs around the World project. In a comment, Bigwig, of Silflay Hraka, voted for Nauru, which we were told, has disappeared.
Via Tim Blair (Blogger permanent links misfire), and then LGF, we now discover that Nauru still exists. It's just been busy:
A SWATH of North Korea's military and scientific elite, among them key nuclear specialists, has defected to the US and its allies through a highly secret smuggling operation involving the tiny Pacific island of Nauru.The defections have taken place since last October and have been made possible through the help of 11 countries that agreed to provide consular protection to smuggle the targets from neighbouring China, according to sources close to the operation, which has now been wound up.
We'll see a blog from there yet!
