    1. Also love how the international date line does a ➰ around Kiribati. Always thought that was funny. Makes sense in my head cuz they are closest to New Zealand and Australia so they’d want to be in the same time zone as them.

      According to Wikipedia, Paris has a population of 0, London of 1900, Banana 1200 and Poland of 350 and looking at satellite images, there are no buildings with second floors.

      cities, you mean points of interest? They’re not even an interest, they’re just points on an island

    4. I find it interesting that it is pronounced as ‘Kiri-baas’ – as the ‘ti’ in the Gilbertese language is pronounced as a ‘s’.

    5. Fun fact 1: It’s pronounced “kiribas”

      Fun fact 2: Parts of Kiribati are in a time zone with UTC+14 offset, meaning they are ahead more than a full day compared to other countries on the same longitude. They are the first in the world to celebrate new year, and when it’s past midnight on Jan 1 there, it’s still the evening of Dec 30 in American Samoa (UTC-11)
