The Republic of Kiribati is an island nation located in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. The country's 33 atolls are scattered over 3,500,000 km˛ near the equator. Its name is pronounced /kiribas/ and is a Gilbertese transliteration of "Gilberts", the English name for the main group of islands: the former Gilbert Islands.

The name of the people is Gilbertese (or I-Kiribati, in Gilbertese). While English is the constitution's and law's language, kiribati or Gilbertese, the native Micronesian language, is widely spoken.
