Kiribati, previously a British Colony known as the Gilbert Islands, became an independent nation in 1979. Located in the Pacific Ocean, the nation is composed of three island groups formed by 33 coral islands. Only 21 of the islands are inhabited. Due to its location in Oceania, Kiribati experiences a tropical climate with typhoon season occurring from November to March every year. Because it is intersected by both the equator and the international date line, Kiribati is the only country in the world to lie in all four hemispheres, i.e., Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western.
The population of Kiribati is approximately 106,925 people (2016 estimate). In this presidential republic, the president is the chief of state and the head of government. Kiribati’s limited natural resources and remote island location restrict its global economic participation and make the nation highly dependent on foreign aid.
With the tropical climate, rich culture and excellent fishing, Kiribati beckons the adventurous traveller to come explore.
