Twenty of the atolls are inhabited, most are very low-lying and at risk from rising sea levels. The republic occupies a vast area in the Pacific. It stretches nearly 4,000 km from east to west, more than 2,000 km from north to south, and straddles the Equator. Kiribati also used to lie either side of the International Date Line, but the government unilaterally moved the line eastwards in 1995 to ensure the day was the same in the whole country. This was a shrewd move as Kiribati marketed itself as the first inhabited place on Earth to greet the new Millennium on 1 January 2000. The world's media descended on Caroline Island - re-named Millennium Island - to record the event. Any boost to Kiribati's tourism from this would be welcome. The economy is weak and largely dependent on world demand for coconut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiribati http://www.aneki.com/facts/Kiribati.html Disaster Date Affected Drought 15-Mar-1999 84,000 High Tide Floods Tarawa, Other Kiribati Islands (Friday, February 9, 2001 Magnitude 5.2 GILBERT ISLANDS, KIRIBATI REGION Thursday, December 02, 2004 at 18:26:42 UTC 1979 - July 12th, Kiribati Independence Day, became the 41st member of the Commonwealth.
