Kiribati is an island nation located in the central Pacific Ocean, consisting of 33 atolls and reef islands that are dispersed over a vast area. The country is known for its unique geographic layout, straddling the equator and the International Date Line. Kiribati's capital is South Tarawa, situated on Tarawa Atoll. The nation has a rich cultural heritage influenced by Polynesian and Micronesian traditions. Its economy primarily relies on fishing, copra production, and remittances from citizens working abroad. Kiribati faces significant challenges due to climate change and rising sea levels, which threaten its low-lying islands.
