Kiribati, pronounced Kiri-bass, is roughfly located between Hawaii and New Guinea. Earlier name was Gilbert, Phoneix and Line Islands. The nation is very big, from west to east it is almost long as the distance between Los Angeles and New York! But most of the area is the sea (3.5 million squarekilometers), the 33 atolls areal (21 are inhabited) is only 810 squarekilometers. The nation has a population around 100000 citizens, a third of them lives on south Tarawa, the main island. Most famous is Christmas island or Kiritimati where tourist fly direct from Hawaii.
