Kiribati is an island republic of central Oceania with an estimated population of approximately 137,610 inhabitants. È note to livello international to be the first to go to the world to celebrate the Capodanno thanks to its position on the UTC+14 clock, with the Kiritimati track that has officially inaugurated the year 2026 when in Italy it was 11:00 on the morning of December 31, 2026.
If it consists of 33 islands (corallini atolls) it is divided into three main groups: the Isole Gilbert, the Isole della Linea and the Isole della Fenice.
Capital: Tarawa Sud.
The tenor of life remains the same in the world, with a PIL pro capite estimated in 2024 at around €2,276. The main entry derives from the fishing license, in particular from the tone.
The majority of the population is Christian, with a clear Catholic predominance (circa 58.9%).
Sfide Climatiche
anKiribati continues to essere the symbol of the lotta control of climate change. Essendo composto da atolli a bassa quota, il paese è extremely vulnerable all'innalzamento del livello del mare.
The government has implemented adaptive programs to manage environmental fragility and the scarcity of laughter and suffering.
Alcune scientific projects indicate that a large part of the territory may become unavailable within 15 years and the current trend of the global risk will not be reversed.
Consigli per il Viaggio
Tourism to Kiribati is limited and accessible to travelers in close proximity to remote and authentic vehicles.
To plan a visit in 2026, the ideal period is from mid-November, when the weather is dry. It is advisable to avoid the peak season (November-February) for the high humidity and frequency of tropical weather.
The island is rhinomate for birdwatching (soprattutto Kiritimati), sport fishing and diving in uncontaminated barrier coralline.

Philately has been considered as an "auxiliary science of history" because it is based on the general principles of other sciences, which in turn contribute to enrich it. It acquires knowledge of the sciences, of the arts, of languages and opens an immense road of social relations through all countries. This science broadens broad horizons of culture, discovers artistic temperaments and offers the interest of the new and the unknown, while performing a positive therapeutic wor.
