Tiny Country Recognised By Even Smaller Country

Nauru has become the fourth country to recognise the Republic of Abkhazia, and is apparently considering extending recognition to South Ossetia.

Presumably Nauru is hoping to get some sort of benifit from Russia in exchange for recognising the ex-Georgian republics - though I suspect any goodwill from Russia will be canceled out by Nauru's previous recognition of Kosovo.

Nauru is also one of the few countries to recognise Taiwan as the Republic of China over the People's Republic, so maybe they just like recognising largely unrecognised states.
