Kiribati is an island nation located in the central Pacific Ocean, consisting of 33 coral atolls and islands straddling the Equator and the International Date Line. The capital is South Tarawa.
The country has a total land area of 811 square kilometers, but an exclusive economic zone of 3.5 million square kilometers in the sea. The climate is tropical maritime, with an average annual temperature of 28°C, divided into a dry season (May-October) and a rainy season (November-April).
The country has a population of about 120,000, with Micronesians as the main ethnic group. The official languages are English and Kiribati, and the population is mostly Christian. Traditional dance, canoeing and weaving are important cultural features.
The economy is based on fishing, copra exports and foreign aid. The main airport is located in the capital and the islands are connected by ships and small airplanes. Tourism is growing, with fishing and World War II relics as highlights.
The capital, South Tarawa, is the political and economic center, while other important areas include the Gilbert Islands, the Phoenix Islands and the Laine Islands. The country is divided into three main archipelagic groups, with no city system in the traditional sense.

Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
