area of 800 square kilometres (310 sq mi)[10] and are dispersed over 3.5 million square kilometers (1,351,000 square miles). Their spread
straddles the equator and the 180th meridian, although the International Date Line is indented to bring the Line Islands in the same day as
the Kiribati Islands. The International Date Line circumscribes Kiribati by swinging far to the east, almost reaching the 150W meridian.
Kiribati's easternmost islands, the southern Line Islands south of Hawaii, have the most advanced time on Earth, UTC+14 hours.
Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. The capital and now most populated area, South Tarawa, consists of a
number of islets, connected by a series of causeways. These comprise about half the area of Tarawa Atoll.
