Kiribati
The eastern two thirds of this sprawling island nation fall within the scope of Polynesia. Remote and poor, the sun rises first here every day.
About Kiribati
Kiribati (pronounced Kiribahs) is an archipelago nation in Micronesia, at the equator. Kiribati has 3.5 million square kilometres of sea territory, with only 811 square kilometres of land, divided between 33 atolls.While the islands are on both sides of the 180th meridian, the International Date Line has been drawn east of them all, placing Kiribati islands in the same day, in time zones UTC +12, +13 and +14. The Line Islands are in the latter time zones, and are therefore the first part of Earth to see every new day.
Kiribati is one of Oceania's poorest countries, and a demanding destination, with few hospitality venues. That said, there aren't many countries where the people are more friendly.
