01Why Nauru? The Export Fingerprint
This is a textbook single-engine economy: Fish, Crustaceans & Molluscs alone accounts for 80% of everything Nauru sells abroad. When one block swallows half the treemap, the candidate list collapses fast.
| # | Export category | Value | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fish, Crustaceans & Molluscs | $181M | 80.2% |
| 2 | Salt, sulphur, cement, lime, stone, & plaster | $33M | 14.8% |
| 3 | Machinery, mechanical appliances, & parts | $2M | 1.0% |
| 4 | Optical, photo, & film equipment; medical instruments | $2M | 0.8% |
| 5 | Non-knitted clothing accesories | $1M | 0.5% |
Total exports: $225M (BACI, 2023 trade flows). The treemap you played is drawn from exactly these numbers.
Together the top five categories cover 97% of Nauru's export basket — the rest of the chart splinters into the small mosaic blocks along the edge. In Tradle terms: the skill was recognizing the big blocks, not memorizing the fringe.
02How to Solve It
Lead with the giant block. Fish, Crustaceans & Molluscs narrows the world to a short list of exporters; one anchor guess in Oceania plus the distance clue should close it within three tries.
If you used the hint ladder above, the ideal exit was Hint 3 — the top export practically names the country. Every 1% of proximity equals roughly 200 km, so read your percentage as a radius, not a verdict.
The general method — anchor guess, arrow, proximity math — is covered in our how to play Tradle guide, and the signature-exports cheat sheet lives in the strategy section.
