#3 Actually, none of those are "fake" countries. Nauru is a small island most famous for phosphates and Internet domain names (Steve Den Beste's "USS CLUELESS" is registered in Nauru). Vanuatu used to be called the New Hebrides. Today, it's (in)famous for 900-numbers and whopping telephone bills for unsuspecting dialers.

#4 If memory serves, Vanuatu was also famous for being the home of the "cargo cults". Primitive native cultures developed a religion that worshipped US Army cargo planes as deities, seeing as how during WWII they were frequent visitors to the strategic island, bringing in military cargos of goods that impressed the natives as being positively god-like.
