Metroji clue #112

Ngerulmud in five emoji

Palau

The least populated national capital in the world, a purpose-built government complex on a hillside with a few hundred people around it. Most Palauans live in Koror.

What each emoji refers to

Jellyfish Lake holds golden jellyfish that lost their sting after being cut off from the sea, and you can swim among them.
Blue Corner is one of the most dived sites anywhere, because the current pulls sharks and fish onto the reef edge.
The Rock Islands are limestone mushrooms undercut by the tide, and they are UNESCO listed.
Palau declared the world's first shark sanctuary in 2009 and later closed most of its waters to commercial fishing.
The capitol building is a domed neoclassical block that looks startlingly out of place in the jungle.
