Kiribati: official name Independent and Sovereign Republic of Kiribati; capital South Tarawa; region Oceania; subregion Micronesia; country population 120,740; area 811 km²; languages English, Gilbertese; currencies AUD Australian dollar, KID Kiribati dollar. This is the country layer behind the Tarawa clock, not a generic timezone-only record.
Kiribati: Kiribati, officially the Republic of Kiribati, is an archipelagic country in the Micronesia sub-region of Oceania in the central Pacific Ocean. The state comprises 32 atolls and other islands and one remote raised coral island, Banaba. Its total land area is 811 km2 (313 sq mi) dispersed over 3,441,810 km2 (1,328,890 sq mi) of ocean. The spread of the country's islands, from Banaba in the west to Kiritimati in the east straddles the equator and the 180th meridian. The International Date Line goes around Kiribati and swings far to the east, almost reaching 150°W. This brings Kiribati's easternmost islands, the southern Line Islands south of Hawaii, into the same day as the Gilbert Islands and places them in the most advanced time zone on Earth: UTC+14.
