- Geography
Kiribati is the only country in the world that lies in all four hemispheres — north and south of the equator, and east and west of the prime meridian.
- Oddities
In 1995 Kiribati moved the International Date Line so the whole country shares the same day — since then, the new year dawns here first.
- Geography
The territory spans 3.5 million square kilometres of ocean, but the land area is only about 810 square kilometres.
- Nature
Kiribati is among the countries most immediately threatened by rising sea levels; the government has bought land in Fiji as a precaution.
