Kiribati is an island nation located in the central Pacific Ocean, consisting of 33 coral atolls and islands straddling the Equator and the International Date Line, making it the only country in the world to straddle both the northern and southern hemispheres, as well as the eastern and western hemispheres. The capital is South Tarawa.
Kiribati is spread over 3.5 million square kilometers of ocean, with a total land area of only 811 square kilometers. It has a tropical marine climate with an average annual temperature of 28°C and is rich in coral reefs and marine resources. Due to its extremely low elevation, the country is one of the most threatened by sea level rise in the world.
The population is about 120,000, predominantly Micronesian, and the official languages are English and Kiribati. The economy is based on fishing, coconut cultivation and overseas remittances, and phosphate resources have been depleted. The unique culture includes traditional dances, canoe making and solemn wedding ceremonies.
Phoenix Islands Protected Area is one of the world's largest marine reserves for shark-watching diving; Christmas Island has the world's largest coral atoll and is a bird-watching and fishing destination. Visitors can experience the amazing phenomenon of jet lag across the International Date Line.
