Why it sticks

  1. 1

    Kiribati is the only country in all four hemispheres. Its 33 islands and atolls are scattered across about 3.5 million km² of ocean.

  2. 2

    In 1995 it moved the International Date Line so the whole country shares one date. Kiritimati (Christmas Island) is the first inhabited place to greet each new year.

  3. 3

    The name is the local spelling of "Gilberts" and is pronounced "Kiribas". Most land is barely 2–3 m above sea level, so rising seas threaten it.
