    geography Kiribati straddles the equator in the Pacific Ocean, which provides a convenient point of reference. This line geographically divides the Gilbert and Line Groups fairly equally. All of the Phoenix Islands are located 200 miles or more south of the equator. Laterally, Arorae, the westernmost Gilbert, lies about 625 miles east of the nearest Phoenix Island, Nikumaroro. The Line Group is several hundred miles farther east of the Phoenix Group.
    At one time, the International Date Line divided the Gilberts from the Phoenix and Line Groups. Kiribati unilaterally moved it to the nation's easternmost boundary on January 1, 1995 so the whole country, from east to west, would finally be on the same day/date. This had the unintended, though inevitable, effect of ensuring that the easternmost atoll would be the first land mass on earth to greet the new millennium on New Year's Day 2000, five years later. The atoll, Caroline Island, was renamed Millennium Island in honor of the occasion. Teburoro Tito, Beretitenti (President) of Kiribati, later called it one of the best accidental outcomes of any decision that he ever made.
    The Gilberts consists of 16 islands, all of which are inhabited. From north to south, the Gilbert Group is slightly under 600 miles long. The islands are aligned diagonally from north-northwest to south-southeast. North of the Gilbert Group is the Marshall Islands, and the nation of Tuvalu (the former Ellice Islands of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands British Crown Colony) lies to the south. The tiny island nation of Nauru is sited about 200 miles east of Banaba. Because of its composition, Banaba is not part of the Gilbert chain, but it often is identified as such because of its proximity.

    geography Kiribati straddles the equator in the Pacific Ocean, which provides a convenient point of reference. This line geographically divides the Gilbert and Line Groups fairly equally. All of the Phoenix Islands are located 200 miles or more south of the equator. The International Date Line divides the Gilberts from the Phoenix and Line Groups. Arorae, the nearest Gilbert to the International Date Line, lies about 225 miles east of it. The nearest Phoenix Island, Nikumaroro, lies about 400 miles west of the International Date Line. The Line Group is several hundred miles farther east of the Phoenix Group.
    The Gilberts consists of 16 islands, all of which are inhabited. From north to south, the Gilbert Group is slightly under 600 miles long.

The tiny island nation of Nauru is sited about 200 miles east of Banaba. Because of its composition, Banaba is not part of the Gilbert chain, but it often is identified as such because of its proximity.
    The Phoenix Group is a cluster of eight islands in the middle of the country. It spans under 300 miles from east to west at its widest point. About 200 miles north are Howland and Baker Islands, both of which are uninhabited U.S. dependencies located slightly north of the equator.

    Pacific Islands Political Geography Kiribati Related Category: Pacific Islands Political Geography Kiribati [k b Pronunciation Key , officially Republic of Kiribati (1995 est. pop. 79,000), 342 sq mi (886 sq km), consisting of 33 islands scattered across 2,400 mi (3,860 km) of the Pacific Ocean near the equator. It includes 8 of the 11 Line Islands , including Kiritimati (formerly Christmas Island), as well as the Gilbert and Phoenix groups and Banaba (formerly Ocean Island). Tarawa is the capital. The population is nearly all Micronesian, with about 30% concentrated on Tarawa. Languages spoken are English (official) and Gilbertese. Inhabitants are about half Roman Catholic and 45% Protestant. Fishing and the growing of taro and bananas form the basis of the mainly subsistence economy. Fish and copra became the chief exports after the mining of Banaba's once thick phosphate deposits ended in 1979. A member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the nation is a republic with a president, a cabinet, and a unicameral legislature. Tuvalu , the remaining islands were granted independence (1979) as Kiribati. U.S. claims to several islands, including

    Kiribati is pronounced 'Kiribas' Kiribati's oceans stretch 3870km east to west. The country is composed of three main island groups: the 16 atolls of the Gilbert Islands chain; north of Fiji, the eight atolls of the Phoenix Islands, south-east of the Gilberts; Line Islandschain, even further east. Measured by land size Kiribati is a tiny nation, but its 33 atolls span 3.5 million square kilometres of ocean. Our work took us to the main island of Kiribati, its capital Tarawa . Tarawa is very flat a speed hump on the pot-holed road could be considered as Mt Tarawa. Tarawa is a group of islands surrounded by a coral atoll. In South Tarawa causeways link the islets, however for North Tarawa a boat is required to island hop at high tide. The international airport is at Bonriki (it is named 'Bonriki International Airport'.) in the south-east corner, which also hosts the new hospital and fish ponds. The central Government offices, Parliament building, President's Office and Resident, Central Post Office, Telecommunications Services Kiribati Limited (TSKL), Library and Archives, and various other official buildings are all on Bairiki islet. Betio islet, probably the most popular in Kiribati, has the port, shipyard and main power station. Betio also has a large number of WWII War relics.
