Frenchie... hardly comparing apples to apples here.
The principal of wealth mismanagement can be applied to any country; however all things considered the two countries share very little in terms of demographics; economy; politics; history etc. Beside Qatar being a member of the GCC and the wider Arab and Muslim world affords it many protections the Nauruan did not have. Further if things remain stable; then Qatar's gas reserves should last about 200 years at least at current rates of exploitation.
However onw worrying potential similarity was found:
Nauruans are the most-obese people in the world.[50] 90% of adults have a higher BMI than the world average.[51] 97% of men and 93% of women are overweight or obese.[50] Nauru has the world's highest level of type 2 diabetes, with more than 40% of the population affected,[52] 47% in American Samoa, 44% in Tokelau.[50] Other significant dietary-related problems on Nauru include kidney disease and heart disease. Life expectancy on Nauru in 2009 was 60.6 years for males and 68.0 years for females.[53]
