- Kiribati straddles the date line — different islands are technically in different days.
- Same-sex relations remain criminal on books but enforcement is essentially absent.
JURISDICTION NOTES
- Most travel involves the Tarawa atoll; outer-island travel requires careful planning and is supply-limited.
- Phoenix Islands Protected Area is one of the world's largest marine protected areas — strict rules.
