The Republic of Kiribati (pronounced Kiri-Bass)

Just finished reading a book by J. Maarten Troost about the grand little Pacific nation of Kiribati. Long story short, the whole living in a pacific island with basically not much fanfare, or running water or a lot of things we take for granted, just appealed to me. Plus, his exploits made it seem like it's an epic struggle of man vs. nature. Kinda made me want to visit there.
